How would a VP candidate Bobby Jindal affect the Southern vote?

Or in other words: Do Southern racists only hate black people?

Bobby Jindal is assimilated enough into the Louisiana way of life that he is a cultural match.

It's the skin colour issue.

As a Southerener, I resent that. The South has elected two governors of Indian descent, and gave Herman Cain tremendous support in the polls last year. I know that's beyond some of you, but maybe the South is moving beyond its racist heritage.

Yes and no.  But it is fair to say that the major faultline on race is not that between White and non-White but between Black and non-Black.  Both Jindal and Haley are non-Black.

Why would Romney need help in the south? If anything, he should shore up votes in the industrial belt.

Probably to drive turnout in VA/FL/NC.

If Romney needs to drive turnout in Florida and North Carolina, he's almost certainly lost the election.
