Have you heard that Conservative Republican Bobby Jindal has won the Governorship in Louisiana?
If you haven’t, it’s probably because the MSM hasn’t really harped on the story very much.
Bobby Jindal, an immigrant of Indian extraction has represented a very Conservative district in the deep South, which Democrats like to pretend is largely peopled by “bigoted rednecks.” Tough to explain how a bunch of bigoted rednecks would elect a son of Indian immigrants to lead their district...so the MSM simply doesn’t.
Another disturbing aspect of the Jindal story is that it runs counter to the Liberal mantra, “A Democratic sweep in 2008 is inevitable.”
If that’s so, how could a very Conservative, Republican upstart beat a Democratic incumbent like Kathleen Blanco?

In the election of 2006, Americans opposed racial preferences by better than 2 to 1 in very Blue Michigan, voted to restrict Eminent Domain in 11 of the 12 states it was on the ballot, opposed gay marrigae by better than 2 t0 1, voting it down in 8 of 9 states. Ballot measures also reduced local tax rates, expanded Megan's Law (mandatory sentences for child-sex offenders, now passed in 47 states) and passed measures like making English the "official language of AZ, barring illegal immigrants from getting any state subsidized programs, etc.
In short, the Republicans have run into trouble in abandoning their Conservative principles, while the Dems made gains in 2006 by running many Conservative "Blue Dogs" in the South and out West.
Again, the MSM doesn't find such things interesting.....they find them "disturbing."
