(snip) "Little more than a week after winning re-election to Congress, Rep. Bobby Jindal, R-Kenner, has reactivated his gubernatorial campaign account and has begun raising money to challenge Gov. Kathleen Blanco next year.

In a lengthy e-mail that went out Wednesday to supporters around the country, Jindal repeatedly stated his interest in a rematch against Blanco, to whom he narrowly lost in an election three years ago.

He urged them to donate as much as $5,000 to his campaign or sign up for a bumper sticker." (end snip)

I hear Richard Baker and Waler Boasso may also have an interest in running. Let the fun begin! :)

1. jindal is an arrogant little shit

I recall about three years ago he said "I'm not a career politician." He's been in politics all his fucking life and those yahoos in St Tammany Parrish will continue to vote for him for no apparent reason. He said he and his wife had to pray about whether he wanted to fuck the constituents who elected him congress by bailing out and running for governor half way through his term; when his mind was made up all along. Nice to see his little buddy, (another conservative worthless fuck) ray romero got his ass handed to him by Chawly Me-lawn-sawn. I hope Governor Blanco whups his ass again, if boasso doesn't beat her to it. I'm just a few miles from the LA state line. I'd send a few bucks to Blanco's campaign next year. Those bayou girls, Blanco and Landrieu are tough cookies in a campaign.

3. It was my pleasure to give Romero a smackdown!

I couldn't wait to vote against him. He and Jindal have been joined at the hip ever since the hurricanes hit...what a pair!

7. I visited New Iberia a few years ago

Had to check out the bookstore of my favorite author, James Lee Burke. I even stayed a night in the motor lodge on Bayou Teche which finds its way into a lot of his books. Wonderful little town.

11. A waste of time. Coathanger Democrat vs Coathanger Republican.

Both people oppose women's abortion rights.

2. He recently spoke at my Mom's Southern Baptist Church in N.E. La.....

....he's been on a helluva tour...she told me about it but didn't go see him...he's definitely been roundin' the sheep up all over the state through their chruches...I loathe the mofo. :evilfrown:

4. COLORS

Is he going to add a brown nose to the purple finger. Wonder if the brown nose will add to his favor with bush. You all know it helped in that wonderful election in Iraq that stopped all the terrorist and fighting.

8. and a campaign slogan is born

12. "brown nose" could come off as a race thing

5. If Blanco runs, she is toast. nt

6. I don't think so

She's working on a deal right now with the Kuwaiti's to open up the largest drilling operation in the gulf coast and she has a cadre of supporters and a good network. I wouldn't bet against her. She was supposedly toast when she ran against jindal the last time; he got into the gutter towards the end and she joined him and he regretted it. Like any other politician she has flaws, but she's in it for the state, jindal's in it for jindal.

9. Her approval ratings are pretty bad, and she only narrowly won last time.

Why would more people vote for her this time around? Her post-Katrina numbers have been consistently bad.

10. The election isn't for another year

and she's a politician.
