BATON ROUGE - Seven out of 10 Louisiana voters are undecided about their preferred candidate for governor, a new poll shows.

But given a list of candidates from which to choose, the number of undecided voters drops to 4 out of 10, according to the poll of 600 taken July 17-21 by Southern Media and Opinion Research of Baton Rouge for release to the news media.

Ieyoub is stronger than his poll rating would indicate because he is the preferred choice of minorities and unions.

Then why aren't they saying they'll support him in the poll? Or have the rank and file not been told who they're supposed to support yet?

>Bobby Jindal, R-Baton Rouge: 29.2 percent favorable, 17.8 percent unfavorable.

Here is the man to support in the election. He is the only Republican with a positive favorable/unfavorable- and he is actually near the 2:1 favorable/unfavorable that the article describes as essential for gubernatorial victory. He is polling first among GOP candidates. Drop the pipe dreams, we need to rally behind one candidate and popular governor Foster has nothing but positive things to say about Jindal.

That's what I'm thinking.

Bobby Jindal is the only Republican who can get into the runoff, and he is NOT a RINO despite support from Foster.

70? Damn that's high considering the election is in a few months.
