Louisiana Politics - Louisiana Governor's Election

Louisiana Politics is part of the culture of Louisiana. Louisiana has had its share of colorful politicians: Huey Long, Earl Long, Edwin Edwards, David Duke, etc. In 2007, we had a Governor's race in Louisiana that included several prominant politicians..

The governor's election campaign started off as a tame affair with Republican Bobby Jindal a "certainty" to win it all in the first primary. Both former Senator John Breaux and incumbent Governor Kathleen Blanco declined to oppose Jindal and he did win it all in the first primary.

The big political question in Louisiana now is " Who will oppose Jindal in 2011?
