My point was that Jindal is still better than Blanco.

Underwhelming for 8 years beats mishandling a category 5 storm due to political dick waving.

It’s so sad that this is considered a consolation. I mean, just the fact that someone would use this as a defense should be really, really telling.

A glass half-full type wouldn't look at it as being last in the Best States list but as being first in the Worst States one.

Yes

But Edwards and Blanco are in a horse race to see who is worst and I have Edwards in the lead now.

All he’s done is say he isn’t Jindal, raise taxes, kill our economy and expand Medicaid which today’s numbers show has not helped make us healthier.

We didn’t deserve Jindal bailing on us, but Edwards has just made it worse.

The long term benefit may be JBE killing Dem chances of holding the big chair again for a generation because of how badly he fricked up.


He was the luckiest motherfricker in the state to have three Republicans fighting each other then come out of it relatively unscathed to get the dark horse victory.

Then he kept fricking up. REPEATEDLY and very publicly. To the point where a layup to get re-elected is now him looking down the barrel at two candidates capable of whipping him.

Imagine, if like Washington for instance, our most populous minority group was Asian at almost 8%. I wonder where we would sit on this list?
pretty low, but a little higher.

the white people are of higher quality in those states, compared to Louisiana.

I think honor code will get re-elected unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong.

Top 3 have no income tax on personal earnings. Coincidence?

If he were polling higher than about 38-40%, I would think so.

His chances will depend on the turnout machine in the black community and how energized Republicans are to vote against him.

Brah, you must not Utah much.

From the Cache to Dixie there’s plenty of baw-worthy vehicles rollin’ there.

I read Abraham is polling better than Rispone. Hopefully JBE won't get to 50% and they'll be a runoff. It's just hard to take out an incumbent

These rankings are based on some weird shite.
Health care? The bottom 25% drags it down. It's fine for most people
