Comments on: An Historic Election in Louisiana http://www.dennyburk.com/an-historic-election-in-louisiana/ A commentary on theology, politics, and culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:54:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Denny Burk » Expatriates for Bayou Bobby http://www.dennyburk.com/an-historic-election-in-louisiana/#comment-24009 Denny Burk » Expatriates for Bayou Bobby Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:47:08 +0000 http://www.dennyburk.com/?p=916#comment-24009 [...] That is why I was elated that Bobby Jindal won the recent election for governor of Louisiana. That is also why I even took the time to write about it two weeks ago on this blog, and you can read about it here. Jindal ran on an ethics reform platform, and many of us are anticipating better days ahead for the bayou state.

Why, oh, why, is race even an issue anymore....duh? Do people think Jesus was WHITE????? I am thinking, uh, nope! But then again the people against Jindall because of his race (not his campaign platform), most likely, have a whacked-out view of Christianity too, that is if they 'claim' to be Christians. While I don't live there anymore, and having no plans to move back to that area, I still am very happy that the people of Louisiana have elected him. My parents have been supporters all the way.

He told me this week that the Jindal family is famously wealthy. I think they are in steel or something like that. Many of them live in U.K., but he was born and raised here. Denny Rafe,

There was no other candidate that could match Jindal. Foster Campbell? Walter Boasso? are you kidding me? These guys are not competent enough to run my fantasy football league let alone the state. Breaux would have appealed to white voters across party lines and would have probably won. I am glad he did not run.
