Good News, Everyone! (Who's a Republican)
Did you know they had an election in Louisiana on a Saturday in October? Sounds like more election day shenanigans from the Republicans, but anyway, Bobby Jindal has been elected governor of Louisiana with 53% of the vote. As you'll find in the lede of any story about the election, that will make him the youngest current governor (36), the first Indian-American governor, and the first non-white governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction. Less likely to find in a news story are the political reasons he won, as he ran a solidly conservative campaign. I don't know whether this election indicates anything outside of Louisiana, but if Jindal has any success cleaning up that state, I'm sure people will be talking about a presidential run for him eventually (when he's old enough). Anyway, I want to be the first to congrulate Bush and Rove on their success of blowing up the levees in New Orleans to wash away all the Democrats. 10 Responses To "Good News, Everyone!

If he's a Republican than he can't be a real non-white. What do you call and Indian-American who has sold out to The Man like this? A fig newton perhaps? Beige on the outside, but brown on the inside? That doesn't work at all. That would be a fake white guy trying to act like an Indian-American. Man, this multicultualist racism stuff is tough! I had no idea! Now I have more respect for Ward Churchill and the bloggers at blackprof.com. It's just second nature for them. #1 - Posted by: K T Cat on October 21, 2007 03:47 PMThe thing is, he won with over 50% of the vote; the next closest guy had something like 13%. Now granted, a bunch of black Democrats got washed away to Houston and Atlanta, and the population of Nawlins went from 67% to 58% black, but that still doesn't explain these numbers. Either Homey's still chillin' on his roof, or even they realize that Kathleen Blanco was largely to blame for the Katrina mess. Apparently, they weren't willing to give the same pass to their white governor as they did to their "chocolate" mayor... #3 - Posted by: bunkerboy on October 21, 2007 04:55 PMUm, if he's 36, then technically he already IS old enough to be President, but I get your point: I'm not ready to vote for someone younger than I (I'm only 40). #4 - Posted by: cknight on October 21, 2007 09:05 PMThe sad thing in that election was that Jalila Jefferson-Bullock, daughter of "Dollar" Bill Jefferson ... yes, the one who is under indictment ... beat David Williams for Louisiana State Senate by 50 votes. He was the only qualified person in the race (he ran as a Democrat, but I've known the family for years, and he's easily as conservative as you or I, and was a Republican up until ... this race - but in his district, there are only like 4 republicans total), but that didn't sway the voters enough, apparently. #5 - Posted by: Estella on October 21, 2007 09:47 PMFrom the Huffington Post -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/10/21/republican-indianamerica_n_69259.html FINALLY! THE KATRINA STRATEGY PAYOFF! Read it all. And just when I thought it was a parody, someone answers "Amen" and checking out the commentor's profile, if it was a joke, it is an elaborate one. #6 - Posted by: Room 237 on October 21, 2007 10:24 PMso, now do they need to change the state drink to a slurpee? So does this mean that you have to wash away Democrats to make Louisiana elect a non-white Governor? Cknight: I hope you are ready to vote for someone younger than you are in four years, because if Hillary is elected in '08 I can see Jindal being a Republican front runner then (or maybe a Veep to Sarah Palin of Alaska, whose pictures you should check out). Heck, I'm 46, and I am ready for President Jindal NOW. Maybe he can clean up Louisiana in a couple of months, in time to run for the White House next year? Oops, better not offend the Fred Thompson fans! #8 - Posted by: Isophorone on October 22, 2007 02:52 PMFEMA trailers dont count as a permanent residence for voting purposes...changes it to more like 5% black #9 - Posted by: Brad on October 23, 2007 12:45 AMUnfortunately, the Bush/Rove-splosion washed all the dems to southern Tejas... #10 - Posted by: jeff on October 23, 2007 12:55 PMPost a comment
