Comments on: Louisiana Governor To Be Youngest In U.S.

36-year-old Son of Indian Immigrants Beats 11 Opponents In Louisiana Gubernatorial Race

great! another disaster for Louisiana.
Democrats should be upset by the continued voter fraud the republicans have pushed in every possible state they can get their hands on. I wonder when someone will decide that honor and integrity are worth something in this country and put all the republican liars, cheaters, greedy scumbags and the worst this world has to offer - GOP supporters behind bars permanently.
O thats right, the republicans keep re-writing the constitution and legislative law to make it a worse offense for a desperate person to steal $75 bucks from a liquor store, than it is to steal 400 billion dollars in tax money from the entire populace of the united states, just so their rich buddies can get richer and keep buying off lying sacks of c_rap to support them with no integrity at all.

Democrats need to be upset with purging of voter rolls. Checking to see where people live is very similar to Republican plans to require photo proof before voting. This is making it harder and harder for the dead to vote. Imagine being able to vote in only one location in each election. Who knows maybe my dog will lose his right to vote?

Indians are as white as Caucasians? Exactly what parallel universe do you live in? Race is not an issue here but, the state of Louisiana is. Frankly, the man has some good ideas and some ideas that sing of being a conformist to certain areas of Louisiana that have been incredibly harsh on relations. I think that Mr. Jidal should take an honest look at his comments at hate crime law repeal before carrying out a new form of justice and be labeled as wolf in brown clothing. This is a not a perfect nation nor is Louisiana a perfect state and so race relationships need to be bridged. It would be refreshing if a man could embrace who he truly is not what he wants to appear to others to forge a greater state of Louisiana.

I have no issue whatsoever with an Indian American serving as long Bobby remembers that he is there to serve all of Louisiana and not just those that he would covet. As with those before him, time will be his judge but, in the mean time I wish him well.

Democrats love minorities, except when they are Republicans! LOL

[ringading3]

A resounding defeat of the Democrats in Louisiana! Senator Mary Landrieu your days are numbered. Better steal as much as you can now. All the crooks and vote buyers are going to be thrown out!

[thgdriver]

The writing on the wall is very clear. The media, liberals, Demonrats can hammer all day and night against us true American Republicans. The bottom line-- Like I said, the beat thing that could have happened to us was to lose the midterm elections to the Demonrats. They have had over a year now and haven''t done squat. The people of Louisiana who think for themselves have spoken! Come November A lot of Demonrats are going to be asking "what happened"? Thinking people are a lot smarter then the likes of Hillary Clinton and CBS will ever give them credit for.

ERICSH NAILS IT!!

The headline of this story should be "LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR GOP GOV SEEN AS REBUKE TO DEMS HANDLING OF KATRINA"!!!!

But oh no....cbs tries to make "age" and "race" the main point of this election...another mainstream media far t to cover up the truth. What a disgrace.

You folks in LA. are not as dumb as the MSM depicts you.

Let''s pray the GOP continues to clean up its act and elect more honest politicians and get rid of the ones that have embarrased us for years.

As a republican, I will NOT stand by any of our reps that are crooked, but encourage their ousting, so that we,as a party, can re-take the majority in the future...our children depend on us.

The dems will continue to stand by their corrupt reps, no matter what, which will be the reason their party will fail in the coming years.

Birth control for a child. Condoms on cucumbers. Tolerance of immoral conduct.Gay parades. Partial birth abortion. Teachers unions running our school system. MTV. Language and nudity on television. Famous Celebritys going down as "victims". Blame your president for everything.

Too much of ANYTHING is bad...this includes diversity.

I am very excited as a Louisiana resident to have Bobby Jindal as our new Governor in charge. It does not matter race to me. I was married to an East Indian man and they are actually very intelligent individuals with high moral character and possess innate characteristics just like any other individuals to succeed in life. I agree with one of the other postings that Indians are just like Caucasians. Good Job Bobby. Please keep your promise to clean the corruption up in Louisiana!

Somehow I don''t think it matters anymore. Louisiana has become an invisible eyesore. I don''t think it will ever recover from the problems of poverty and Katrina. The new governor? He and his family look like the Stepford Family.

[vancouverboo]

Non-white? Indians are as white as Europeans. But why do you have to be racist about it, CBS?

[lawandorder7]

Maybe this means some of the states like IN will lose some of there immigrants,they can all go to Louisiana and work. I can''t belive what what we have become. To think we had men die in two real wars, to get to this LOW point.

[erichsh]

What a surprise. This is the first time I have seen the phrase "widely blamed" used against anyone but Bush with respect to Katrina - even though the evidence at the time clearly pointed to Nagin and Blanco. And, had the situation been reversed (Democrat beating a Republican), the election results would have been much more widely published and spun as an indictment against Bush.

[erpcat]

wow!!! I can not believe he has not been called a terrorist, oh just right he is a repub. Now that all the low income, the working class people & the demo gov are longer in NO, watch the money come in from the fed gov''t now.

[bobanderma]

I wonder what the State''s official language will be? Next time you call Microsoft Tech Support, or some of the other BIG corporations, ask where they are talking to you from!

-Quote from sevenpesos: nothing good comes from the south. And he/she is right, I start to believe!

Funny, I remember hearing that about a little place called Nazareth.

"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Philip. -John 1:46

If he holds true to getting rid of the ''trough feeders'', it will confirm a pattern showing up through local governments nation wide. People are electing people not so concerned with ''being politically correct'' or ''keeping bridges of communication open between special inerest or corporate bullies'' and getting down and dirty to rid cities and states of rooted corruption and feelings of status quo. I hope the trend continues. In this case it needs to ''gush up'' instead of ''trickle down''. Federal government is awash in this ''you tickle me I tickle you'' kind of backdoor wheeling and dealing that succeeds only in obstructing the progress Americans most want to see, party biases aside.

Someone has to show them how it''s done...why not local government?

[Krazcarl]

This was a landslide even disputed votes won''t make a difference looks like the louies see promise in this young man not familiar with Louisiana politics but he seamed to captivate the crowd and wish him my best.
