Jindal would have been Governor for over four years now if it weren't for racism.
Agreed. Comparing the 2003 Gubernatorial map to the 1991 Gubernatorial map and seeing all those counties in northern Louisiana that voted for both David Duke and Kathleen Blanco makes it reasonably clear.
Same goes for Ford in Tennessee, of course, regarding racism. Not that it was the primary reason for his loss (Tennessee is just a fundamentally Republican state at the federal level now) but given the margin of his defeat (less than Jindal's in 2003) it clearly was enough to decide the election on its own.
