    Keep your eye on Bobby Jindal, new Gov. of Louisiana

    CNA reports:

    U.S. Representative Bobby Jindal has won the Louisiana gubernatorial election to become the nation's youngest governor and the first non-white to hold the governorship in Louisiana since Reconstruction. The governor-elect also is a strong Catholic who has authored pamphlets on Catholicism that have drawn the ire of some Protestants.

    ....Jindal converted from Hinduism to Catholicism in his teens. His faith became an issue in the campaign when opponents launched an advertisement misrepresenting some of his essays explaining his view of Protestantism. The advertising effort tried to stir up anti-Catholic sentiment by focusing on heavily Protestant areas of the state.

    Stephen Braunlich does a good job of quickly introducing the reasons to like him. His wiki page adds more background. This was the same guy who back in August was the target of dirty anti-Catholic ads created by Louisiana democrats. Well, today, it's nothing but praise from the AP, WashTimes and even the NYT. Score.
