    La. Gov. Bobby Jindal expected to win re-election

    BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal faces a field of nine competitors in Saturday's election, but they had little money to mount the type of advertising campaign needed to oust the popular Republican from a second term.

    The contest is an open primary, meaning a candidate can win the seat outright if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote. Jindal was widely expected to easily win re-election. He has recently polled well above 50 percent, while his leading challenger — along with others vying for the seat — has polled in the single digits.

    The 40-year-old Jindal, who took office in 2008, piled up $15 million in campaign cash from around the nation and attracted no Democratic challengers with statewide name recognition.

      If Jindal were a Demo, these blogs would be praising him as the symbol of diversity. But he's a conservative, and the liberal haters slam him incessantly. The Democratic Socialist Party of America is the party of haters and hypocites, and this blog proves it!

      Is this the same Jindal that told Obama he didn't want the stimulus $$$ and then took credit for the projects it funded? Guess LA voters like liars so of course they would vote Republican.

      Another 2 faced politician! FIX THE OIL SPILL

      The governor of Louisiana is Jindal to lose, based upon his celebrity status. The GOP has made Jindal an icon, plus they gave him $15 millions in campaign donations to support his re-election as Louisiana Republican Governor...I never seen a politician so hungry for power like Jindal. He even went so far to show his American born birth certificate to the world. People that are political hungry can be detrimental to the American Constitution.

      He is another one of the GOP's up and coming fresh faces. There is nothing, however, fresh about him. The less government and more states rights guy showed his true colors during the Gulf oil incident. A few days into the event and he was already whining that the feds weren't helping. A few days in and he was already going against a very fundamental GOP plank, liability limits. He campaigned saying citizens should not be allowed to sue in malpractice cases against MD's. So it was shocking to hear him say liability limits in this case should be raised. So along with that other darling Rubio the truth is these guys are just younger versions of the same old thing.

      Idiot comments, when a Republican wins they bought it, when a Democrat wins it was grass roots.

        Republicans have no roots so we figured they have to buy everything.

      Being Governor of Louisiana is like being head caretaker at the local animal shelter. You get lots of barks and meows of support.
