I hope anyone considering boycotting Louisiana will keep in mind this is all Jindal's baby

not the people's. Yes, we bear ultimate responsibility for electing this asshole, but buyer's remorse in the state is extreme, with Jindal's popularity under 30%. There was no public support for this bill, as evidenced by its failure to get to a floor vote in the legislature. Jindal is trying to gain traction among social conservatives in Iowa and New Hampshire, and he's willing to burn down the state to do it. You won't hurt him with a boycott, he's leaving office next fall anyway, and would love to play the martyr when he goes campaigning full time (as if he weren't campaigning nearly full time already.)

I think this post is just booster nonsense. Your type assured us Texans had learned there lesson and were ready elect Wendy Davis. Texas would be my first target and after that it is a tossup between Louisiana and Tennesee.

Only about a third of Louisiana’s voters bothered to cast votes in the election to choose their state leaders for the next four years.

Unofficial figures from the Secretary of State’s Office peg voter turnout at less than 36 percent - fewer people than several elections leaders predicted. One million of Louisiana’s 2.8 million registered voters went to the polls, the fewest number of voters to cast ballots in a governor’s race since Louisiana switched to the open primary system in 1975.

this is why the people of la. are to blame you didnt vote and you let a teabagging dumbass to take control
