Louisiana has spoken!
Well, well, well. Eat this one, my liberal friends.
The Louisiana voters have spoken, and what they said was "Fuck you, democrats!". Yes, federal government and FEMA fucked up big time on Katrina, but the voters know all-well that the federal mess was just the icing on the terrible shit cake created by years of local Democratic neglect of the state and the Big Easy.
The people were so pissed at Kathleen Blanco she decided not to even run for re-election, and then the voters have shown their displeasure with the Dems by giving Walter Boasso just 18% of the vote.
Enter the new conservative governor, Oxford-educated Bobby Jindal, a 36-year-old son of Indian immigrants, taking in the overwhelming 53% of the vote. And guess what -- he's not white. And not black. He doesn't carry the old animosities. And he's young. And conservative.
People simply got tired of old bullshit and tried something new. And all this -- from the state constantly made fun of in New York for backwardness (this from people who elected Spitzer!). I wonder when New Yorkers will grow enough balls to bet on someone like Jindal (provided we even have someone like that on our stale political landscape).
Good luck to the new Governor, may he possess the intelligence and the will to make the lives of people in Louisiana better.

Not much connection between premises and conclusions?
Hell, if there was another republican to pledge that in NY, i'd vote for him...it just so happens that there ARE NONE! So, i agree, good luck to the new Governor and let's see if he carries any of his "pledges" out and whether he gets re-elected.
Let's also see if there is any other republican who has the balls to stand up and pledge the same thing for any other community in the country. So far other republican congressmans are only good for this (http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/ten-commandments.html").
Also, judging from Jindal's voting record, he is not overly concerned with prudent fiscal policy - only 3 "NOs" of 38 appropriation bills. Seems rather conformist to our thrifty conservative government. Shall we require the army to notify congress of moving people from Guantanomo Bay to other prisons - NO! Shall we permit people to burn flags out of protest (the ULTIMATE freedom of speech) - NO!
Vote to pass a bill that creates a mandatory rest period between deployments to Iraq for members of the Armed Forces. - NO!
Vote to pass a bill that prohibits lawsuits against anyone engaged in the food industry on claims that the food caused obesity or weight gain to the plaintiff. - YES!
Vote to pass a bill allowing the use of embryonic stem cells for research under certain conditions. - NO!
Should i go on? What exactly are you cheering for?
