Geaux Jindal
UPDATE 11:20 p.m. Jindal WINS!!! Absolutely love this graphic at RedState.
The bad news is that LSU is down by 7 at the beginning of the 3rd.
Also love how NOLA.com has the game score above the election results. Football is life.
The polls are now closed in Louisiana, and all eyes are on Bobby Jindal.
Is it possible for someone with common sense to be elected in that state? We can only pray.
The Times-Picayune captures a problem of running an election in the South:
One concern among Republicans is the Louisiana State University football game against Auburn at Tiger Stadium, with a kickoff at 8 p.m. The Republican National Committee has been sponsoring ads to encourage Tiger fans to get to the polls before starting their tailgate and game-day activities.
Are here federal laws against drinking in line at the polls? If so, Republican Tigers are in trouble. LSU/Auburn is a big game. All those forwards about consulting a football schedule before choosing a date for your wedding are true in the SEC.
If Jindal wins, is it a victory for conservatives or a sign that Louisianians want someone with leadership abilities? It will be decades before the state gets over Katrina. Normally, you would think that the person offering leadership during the disaster would be a shoo-in, but New Orleans re-elected Nagin to the Chocolate City. He was one of the few officials out doing something rather than ringing their hands (Blanco), crying (Aaron Broussard) or blaming FEMA (everyone else). He’s dedicated to the Pelican State. Louisianans should appreciate that.
Redstate give me hope. 633,000 doors were knocked by homeschoolers. Why aren’t we reaching out to homeschoolers more often?
BTW, given the Vols poor performance tonight, my orange is quietly being replaced by purple and gold for the remainder of the season. Geaux Tigers!
