Um, guys and gals, you did know there was an election last week, right?

Because I didn't.  Nor did I know the absolute landslide outcome. Why?  Check the total sum of the headlines, dealing with the election outcome.

So click on this particular one just to find out...

Jindal starts re-arranging staff for second term

Quote
The governor won his re-election bid this weekend with 66 percent of the vote, the highest margin in a Louisiana primary since the state moved to open primaries in 1975. The governor led in all 64 parishes against a field of nine competitors.

And nice try, Melinda dear.

Quote
He declared his win a "mandate," though fewer than 36 percent of voters showed up to the polls.

WE JUST WON A LANDSLIDE IN A DEMOCRAT STATE!

Our friend Allan has highlighted some of the foibles of Mr. Jindal, but there is no denying the fact that he is a force to be reckoned with in Louisiana, and he mopped the floor in this election.  And just as importantly they picked up seats in the legislature, so hopefully that can translate into better things to come for the people of this state.

I don't know enough about him to like him one way or the other, but I have two clues. First, Alan who lives in LA says he's a stinking RINO. Second, the GOP establishment is hoisting him as a "rising star". Those two things color what I know about him more than anything I actually know about him.

He's probably the best governor Louisiana has ever had, Idunno. I'm happy that he won a landslide in a Democrat state. But I'll be happiest if he keeps winning landslides in Louisiana.

A RINO in Louisiana is so far right of the customary politics the 'ol Dems are in a state of shock.
He's probably the most honest and descent governor Louisiana has ever had.
Did a good job railing on the Princess too.

Definitely a RINO.  That new cash law is truly WTFworthy.  In fact I can't see how it's constitutional, banning legal currency.  Despite that he does realize that nothing happens in this world, without proper power generating capacity, and governs as such.  His state is at 7% unemployment, despite Captain Dumbass keeping his jackboot on the neck of the oil drilling industry

But 66-18!  Is this really where our country is headed?  Do I dare hope?

Just how big is the landslide going to be, a year from now?

Heh, not be Johnny Raincloud, but the GOPer's seem poised to nominate a Ruling Class idiot...snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is their calling card ya know?

Understatement. I have to admit a feaux pas on my part. Due to my schedule, I didn't do any research on the other 9 candidates until 3 days before voting. Considering I'd never HEARD of the other 9, it was a task to say the least. And no, I didn't vote for the RINO Jindal. He can kiss my  ::mooning::

Considering we just had a governor released from prison, that's not saying alot. ::bashing::

66-18!

Don't be surprised. Jindal has been on the road (out of state ::asskicking::) fund raising more than he's been at home leading the state. He's got enough money to do just about anything his heart desires. Like I said before, I had never heard of the other 9. They were folks who come out of the woodwork just to run for office. No political records whatsoever.

For some reason, the fella I voted for was neither (D) or (R). He was listed as "No Party". What little information I was able to grab, that gave him a headstart.
