The results east of the Sabine River shall be...FINAL!

In Louisiana, the final boxes are in:

For Governor
Bobby Jindal (R) 54% - Avoids runoff, meaning he will be the new Governor of Louisiana
Walter Boasso (D) 17%
John Georges (Indie) 14%
Foster Campbell (D) 12%

Elsewhere on the ballot,
Mitch Landrieu (D) wins easily with 57%, Sammy Kershaw (R) is second with 30%

Jay Dardenne (R) re-elected Secretary of State easily with 63%

State Attorney General Charles Foti (D) defeated. No surprise given that Katrina got to him.

Finally, change is coming to Louisiana.

This now adds a Republican pickup amongst governors, but that will be short-lived given the events fixing to take place in Kentucky, where Ernie Fletcher (R) is slated for defeat. Also, on Election Day, we will be seeing the outcome in that state and also in New Jersey and Virginia, which could have some ratifications on the state of America next year.

That's all for now. See you soon!
