“Are you familiar with Louisiana politics?”
No, outside of the fact that they are said to be rather corrupt. Did he run against Blanco on the second try or someone else?
“...negative attacks on Jindal based on his skin color.”
Wouldn’t that backfire due to the black vote?
I am pretty certain it was Blanco both times 2003 & 2007. As for the African-Americans, they would vote for a democrat in large numbers regardless of who is running. That is a long standing issue with me as to why they do it and why GOP does not do a better job of PR.
