>Okay, what's happening in LA with Jindal?

Interesting turn of events--Blanco is playing race baiter by calling Jindal a racist. She is backed by a major Pakistani-American group who claims that Jindal is a racist because of his Indian heritage and a Jindal election would be disastauous towards future policy towards Pakistan. Even if anything of this is true, then we should back Jindal even more, do a big FReep support campaign for him, because Pakistan is one of the most dangerous places in the world, Osama is probably hid out there, and this group backing Mrs. Blanco has in the past been suspected of funnelling money to Al Qaeda.

In answer to someone else, Jindal is a convert to Roman Catholicism, not hindu. However Indians, whether hindu or not, are pretty big in southeastern part of Louisiana, mostly around Harahan..
