Roy,
I'm a lifelong Conservative Christian Republican and couldn't be happier that Mr. Jindal, a Republican is your new governor. BUT, please tread lightly with any political remarks. There are good honest Democrats on these boards who support their party and their candidates, including Ms. Blanco. The feelings are still so raw from the Katrina fiasco, that I'm sure it's difficult to contain your feelings for former governor Blanco, but do your best.
Thanks and it's good to see your post.
Merry Christmas! (politically incorrect statement)
Jim
