I had suspected that anti-foreigner sentiment played a part in Bobby Jindal's loss in the Louisiana gubernatorial election. This AP report confirms that Democrat Kathleen Blanco got 38% of the white vote, a better result than usual for a Democratic candidate in Louisiana.
I was in Louisiana during the David Duke election, and I remember my relatives (in northern LA) and all their neighbors posting Duke signs. I can only imagine these people not being too excited about an Indian governor. White folks crazy.
