Seriously though, I think that Jindal has been good for Louisiana and while some think he should have stayed in Washington, I think he can do more here. We've got two strong people (David Vitter and Mary Landrieu) already in Washington and I know they'll work with Jindal for the good of the state. (BTW, Mary's brother, Mitch, was re-elected Lieutenant Governor.) |
The last thing NO needs is some distant, money-tight technocrat running the show. What the people of NO need more than anything else now is
compassion and understanding--someone who is willing to listen to their needs, to meet with the people in person, and promise relief where it is needed.
That leader also needs to be someone who is wiling to take the time to understand the root of the corruption plaguing NO. Corruption can never be legislated away. If it could, it wouldn't even exist, since it's obviously illegal.
Jindal's background suggests he's the
wrong person to lead LA at this time. Expect his political fortunes to go south all the way in 4 yrs.
