In 2003 my co-workers and I were worried that Republican Piyush "Bobby" Jindal would win the governor's race against Democrat Kathleen Blanco. Blanco pulled within 3% in the polls right ahead of the election. I told them to quit worrying because the Democrats always steal 5% of the vote. Blanco won and except for Hurricane Katrina being unfairly hung on her would have gone down as one of the best and most honest governors Louisiana ever had.
