Indian Immigrant's Son Wins La. Primary
Advertisements [?]
NEW ORLEANS - An Indian immigrants' son running as a conservative Republican finished first in an open primary for Louisiana governor Saturday, leaving three veteran Democratic politicians scrambling for the second spot in a runoff.

With 47 percent of the precincts reporting, Bobby Jindal had 35 percent, or 231,901 votes. It was a close contest for the second spot between Lt. Gov. Kathleen Blanco and Attorney General Richard Ieyoub both at 17 percent, and former Congressman Claude "Buddy" Leach with 14 percent. Former state Senate President Randy Ewing was fifth with 9 percent. Blanco and Ieyoub had 116,757 and 114,821 votes, respectively
