Louisiana is certainly winnable for any Democrat (well... maybe not Dean...)

Something to note from the 2000 result is this: Gore did a LOT worse in the Cajun part of the state than is normal for a Democrat.

I have it as a lean-D (I think. I've not updated my map for a while).
Louisiana is a strange state... socially one of the most right wing states in America and economically one of the most left wing...

BTW the Cajun area actually voted for Dukakis in 1988.  Could someone explain why Gore did so badly there?

The only reliably GOP voters in Louisiana live in the 1st district.

There's a lot of "disguised unemployment" in Louisiana...

As I said earlier Louisiana is right wing on social issues and left wing on economic issues.
In 2003 what probably sunk Jindal was Blanco's ad attacks over health cutbacks.

What about Disguised Unemployment and Underemployment?
They are serious problems that affect real people.
