Pigs are flying in Louisiana...
the polls show that Jindals' support is soft - despite the latest that I think is an outlier showing he's at 63%. I definitely think it's under 50.
So the latest is that John Georges, a republican whose been running - is officially considering a switch to D or Independent because his polling shows that he "would do better not as a republican."

I would have NEVER thought I'd live to see the day.
I live in New Orleans and this is just like WOW news. Even after Katrina, it seemed impossible to shake the R's from here. The r's managed to royally screw the mayor's race and they stayed home for the runoff in the Congressional race which gave it back to Jefferson by default.
Even though Boasso switched as well and put "DEMOCRAT for GOVERNOR" front and center on all his ads, etc. I couldn't believe that there wasn't anything serious hurting the R's.
John Georges' initial mailings last spring were all blank of any party affiliation. You had to do some serious digging to find out who he was.
So now I am just sitting here, shocked that the numbers are finally swinging away from the R's - enough that ANOTHER candidate is switching.
I wonder what the final nail was....
