The Jindal Effect?

Louisiana voters have spoken, and they’ve sent two republicans to Congress: one will replace scandal-tainted democrat William Jefferson and the other will replace a retiring incumbent republican. Interestingly, Anh "Joseph" Cao, who beat Jefferson by three percentage points will become the first Vietnamese-American in Congress (nice to see this in the republican party).

In a year of devastating losses for republicans, these victories provide small consolation. But they may also be viewed as a positive sign for LA Governor Bobby Jindal, who may or may not be harboring national political aspirations in the near future.

From this morning's Richmond Times-Dispatch about his election:

"The only thing I am certain of is that I am anti-abortion."

Anh "Joseph" Cao


With all the problems we are facing as a party and as a nation, it's apparent that there are still too many in the Republican party who have their heads firmly buried in the sand.
