Of course, he has since been voted into congress and is running for Governor again. Not sure what will happen, but don't be so shocked that the "brown Indian Hindu" was beat by a woman in 2003.

Oh man, you're really fucking reaching on this one.
His name is Bobby Jindal, and his popularity in this state is insane.
To say he lost because of his ethnicity is ridiculous.
He's the congressman for a lilly white affluent district and ran for reelection unopposed.
Blanco won, barely, but it had nothing to do with Jindal's ethnicity.
