Thought I'd bop on over to the fever swamp to soak up a little DUmmy misery over Jindal's victory.
I was not disappointed.

Jindal Wins Second Term as Governor of Louisiana
Edited on Sat Oct-22-11 11:26 PM by alp227
Source: AP
Gov. Bobby Jindal easily coasted to a second term on Saturday, winning in a landslide after failing to attract any well-known or deep-pocketed opposition.
Mr. Jindal, 40, a Republican, overwhelmed nine competitors in the vote, an open primary; a candidate wins the race outright if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote.
“I will use every day, every hour of these next four years to make Louisiana the very best that we can be,†Mr. Jindal told a packed hotel ballroom of supporters in Baton Rouge. “I don’t believe in resting on our past accomplishments. I don’t believe in taking time off.â€
Having piled up $15 million in campaign cash from around the country, he attracted no Democratic challengers with statewide name recognition or fund-raising heft. He has had consistently high approval ratings since taking office in 2008.

In the election, there were four Democrats challenging Jindal. Are there no primaries in Louisiana?

The usual plethora of sour grapes, "voting against their best interests", stolen election cowflop that you might expect:

26. Blind?
Or they don't care. This region can be counted on to vote against their best interests.

Why?

17. No, there are plenty of us with good progressive minds.
Our state is filled with republicans in government, however, and central tallying of votes in Parish Clerk of Court offices. Most or all of these (?) are filled with republicans. Democrats must benefit in some way by not doing anything about the stealing of votes, or many republican states in the south and midwest would, at the least, turn purple. Andy Stephenson would have been apoplectic by now. Miss you, Andy!

11. The Democratic party in Louisiana is now a joke...
It's been nearly totally wiped out. The other statewide races were more competitive, but it's all Republicans running against each other. Virtually no Democrats at all, doesn't even look like the party fields candidates. Katrina badly damaged Bush, but it appears to sped up the destruction of the Democrats in Louisiana as well.

Unlike natives at the DUmp, who are really stupid crazy! :rotf:
Cry on, DUmmies. This is a small taste of what November 2012 will be. Enjoy! :evillaugh:

If republicans in the south are stealing elections, they have had 100 years to learn from the best how to do it.
You know, I hate to admit it but in some things republicans are slow learners. Ethics and morals can be a real handicap sometimes.

DUmmie may not realize it, but its a taste of things to come. Once people that democrats offer only slavery, they will flee the party every time.
The rats are embracing Occupy Wall Street, a movement defined by civil disobedience and no clear defined goals.
Rats are offering no clear challengers to Obama, making failure and ineptitude a party platform.
If we can get a real conservative to lead us in 2012 (like Cain), then we will have a landslide.

Maybe it is the history (http://www.sos.la.gov/tabid/358/Default.aspx)of Huey P Long and Edwin Edwards, some of the more stalwart Democrat governors that have woken people up. I lived in New Orleans for a bit and I can tell you what the Democratic elected officials did to that city.

Yeah, we are slow learners.

Unemployment in Louisiana is what? about 4 points lower than the US average under Obama?

Are you allowedto call the residents of the chocolate city natives?

Well, its not quite that dramatic, but yes - it is indeed lower.
Unemployment Rate September 2011 Month/Month Year/Year
National 9.1% 0.0 -0.5
Louisiana 6.9% -0.3 -0.8

Do they bother to read before posting? From the article:
Mr. Jindal, 40, a Republican, overwhelmed nine competitors in the vote, an open primary; a candidate wins the race outright if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote.
The O.P. (whom one would assume, away from the DUmp, had read the article he was posting) then queries:
In the election, there were four Democrats challenging Jindal. Are there no primaries in Louisiana?
Despite a perfectly clear explanation of how the election runs (four Rats unable to gather as many votes as Gov. Jindal between them), it has to ask the question and show its need to spoon-feeding information...
Then a bit later, one tried to show its erudition, and fails:

3. It's rather French, that system! nt
Actually, nothing like the French system. There the equivalents of the primaries are organised entirely by the parties concerned. Following this the parties' nominees run in the general election, if no one candidate gains a majority (usually the case with the presidential election) there is a run-off a couple of weeks later. This system merges the (open)primary and general elections by-passing the need for further campaigning if one candidate has over-whelming support.

If Katrina destroyed the Democrats there, it is solely due to the stunning illustration it gave of decades of Democrat incompetence, nepotism, and corruption, not because their core voters permanently moved out of the state.

"Stole the election"
"Voting against their own self-interests"
What are the other lame excuses used by the left to explain a democrat loss?

"VRWC" and "right-wing extremist hate radio" spring to mind.

Racism seems to be the perennial...not quite sure how it would work here, but that's probably a sign that I'm applying reason and logic to facts which is the opposite of the DUmmy way.

"Diebold", Karl Rove, Republican precinct chairmen, Republican state attorney generals, SCOTUS, voting irregularities, exit polling, electronic voting, hanging chads, racism, voter intimidation, voter suppression, voter fraud, just to name a few.
But they are just $10 away from solving all those problems. :lmao:

The DUmmies need Zombie Andy to return and end stolen elections.

Well done AlPravda!!! Somehow they got the idea that Jindal failed by not attracting a competitor? I got that massive WIN!
I'm beginning to think that lawyers are not the worst people on earth, it's journalists.

It's never the liberal message that loses. There's always some excuse. This time Mother Earth screwed the liberals. Boohoo.

landslide after failing to attract any well-known or deep-pocketed opposition.
Jukin, I skimmed right past that the first time around. WTF is that?! "he failed" ::) Journalists. Douchebags.
Congrats to Bobby for the win!

No, it really is lawyers.

"Voting against their own self-interests"
They love that one. When they say it, what they really mean is "Voting against their own selfish, short-term benefit in getting on the entitlement train with me, but more importantly, possibly cutting whatever form of handout I'm getting."

Yeah its certainly warped logic to say the least. Lack of a "deep pocket" challenger is not a failing of Jindal, its a failing of dems and their policies. Its not Jindal's responsibility to make sure his opponent is strong. That is just ridiculous.

You can also look at it this way, Jindal is doing such a good job the Democrats felt it was a waste of time and money to run a serious challenger.
