A young Republican Governor in Louisiana who doesn't like people feeding from the public trough... this should prove interesting.

Interesting indeed. “Feeding at the public trough” is the core value of the democrat party.

Who cares about his skin color? Other than the Clintoon News Network?

Liberals put race first again. What makes Bobby Jindal, Bobby Jindal is NOT the color of his skin. Bobby Jindal is what Obama pretends to be, but never could become. For someone so young, Jindal has an amazing record of accomplishment. I wish he were in Michigan, Louisiana north.

It really depresses me how much importance people place on skin pigmentation levels or genital configuration. These things are entirely unrelated to the question of how someone will legislate, lead, or adjudicate.

Because “Republican governor” makes them choke, thus “nonwhite governor.”
Now, “nonwhite Republican governor” would cause a coronary.

I recall the past Louisiana election. I asked a friend from Shreveport whether he and his wife were voting for Jindal or Blanco. His reply, “Jindal is a little too dark for me.” Ummm Hmmm. Should’a paid closer attention to the name “Blanc-O.”

Unfortunately “Feeding at the public trough” has also become a recent value of the Republican party.

"Who cares about his skin color? Other than the Clintoon News Network?" Exactly. I think what is more important is that this is only the 3rd Republican governor since 1877. I guess CNN doesn't want to highlight the fact that Louisiana needs a Republican after the mess the Democrat Blanco made of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. That's the real story.

I’ll bet the DUmmies are chanting “voter fraud” and “investigate Diebold”.

Impossible! No republican can win today with the massive tide of anti republican feelings in the country and total love and support the American people have for democrats!
Certainly Diebold had something to do with this.

Bobby Jindal is what Obama pretends to be, but never could become. You hit a home run with that one.
