And on the same day LSU beats Auburn 45 to 10!

From Cliff Thies:

Down in Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal was re-elected in a landslide on Saturday, pulling 66 percent of the as of yet incomplete vote.

Republicans swept all seven statewide offices and both chambers of the state legislature. And as if an omen from a higher authority for his next four years in office, on the very same day, Louisiana State beat Auburn 45 to 10.

From the AP via USAToday "La. Gov. Bobby Jindal wins re-election":

Bobby Jindal on Saturday easily coasted to a second term, winning in a landslide election... The 40-year-old Republican overwhelmed nine competitors in the open primary, where a candidate wins the race outright if he or she receives more than 50 percent of the vote. With 99 percent of precincts reporting, Jindal had received about 66 percent of the total vote.

His closest competitor, Tara Hollis, a Democrat from north Louisiana, garnered nearly 18 percent of the total vote. All of the other candidates were in single digits.

A "virtual collapse" of the Democrat Party in Louisiana

Continuing from USAToday piece:

"I will use every day, every hour of these next four years to make Louisiana the very best that we can be. I don't believe in resting on our past accomplishments. I don't believe in taking time off," Jindal told a packed hotel ballroom of supporters in Baton Rouge.

His win comes amid the virtual collapse of the Democratic Party's clout in the state. In the current term, Republicans have gained control of all seven statewide elected posts and both chambers of the legislature...

his brand of conservatism and refusal to raise taxes has resonated outside the state.

Note from the Editor - We here at LR supported Jindal way back in '07 when nobody knew who he was. We couldn't resisit adding this golden oldie video from 2008 - NoBama Merci Beaucoup - to celebrate Bobby's big win. Let it be a theme song for GOP Victory 2012. Enjoy!
