The prize is not necessarily an enviable one: Louisiana is the nation’s poorest state, measured by per capita income; one of its unhealthiest; the worst in infant mortality; and the least educated. It is last in attracting new college-educated workers. Tens of thousands of people remain displaced by Hurricane Katrina, the police department in New Orleans still operates largely out of trailers, and neighborhoods are still trying to rebuild.

I love how they slip that in there.

A state overwhelmingly ready to re-elect him by a record margin?

If you will wear a D-MS avatar if I'm right.

If you really prefer it to D-IL, sure.

Yes. By endorsing Jindal without even considering anyone else, the state party alienated two other Republicans.

They won the governorship.  They lost two nobodies.

I think that comes out to a net win.

I'm even happier about Foti losing than Jindal winning.

I haven't been following this race very closely, but can someone please explain why the racist counties that Jindal lost in 2003, voted for him now?

They saw what it got them last time?

I'll make a wager with you that Barbour gets less than 55.55% (the record margin)

Mississippi   
November 06, 2007 - 11:39PM ET   (i) = incumbent
Governor - General
1572 of 1899 Precincts Reporting - 83%
Name   Party   Votes   Vote %
Barbour, Haley (i)   GOP   337,609   58%
Eaves, John   Dem   241,862   42%

To his credit, Eaves is outperforming his fellow Dems, save Hood and Sumrall.
