    Jindal is a Catholic who disagrees with many Catholic beliefs like evolution and the big bang.

    Also Jindal is an exorcist while Huckabee is not.

      Actually, he believes in the biblical account of Creation, which is Catholic. I don't know why you think there is conflict between this account and either evolution or the big bang. Heck it was Lemaitre who came up with the idea of the big bang, because it confirmed that there was a beginning to the universe, which the solid state theories rejected.

      Also Jindal is an exorcist while Huckabee is not.
      And what about exorcisms isn't Catholic? You have an awfully skewed perception of what is Catholic and what is not, last I checked the Vatican is the only place that actually hires exorcists.

        Jindal is a young earth creationist though.

          No, he's not. I don't see any evidence of that.

            No he isn't. Huckabee is a far better choice for your right wing fundy folksy governor type.

              I know. But I probably should've added him (and Riley). They're probably only slightly less plausible than Sanford and Barbour.

                Crushed? He only won by less than 1% of the popular vote and had 301 Electoral votes. Before you say Wallace voters would have voted Nixon, remember Wallace was a Democratic governor.

                  Who would have won those votes is pretty irrelevant, since you can't force people not to vote for a third party candidate. Neither Nixon nor Humphrey appealed enough to those states.

                  Nixon beat Humphrey 301-191, which is a pretty solid victory.

                    Why? Riley has prayed during press conferences and has assisted in building infrastructure and job creation.

                    Mississippi is still a horrible state you wish you could just drive straight through but instead are forced to decided to get gas either there or Louisiana.

                    SC sucks too.

                      Dixiecrats are really Democrats?

                      That could go in my sig.

                          Wallace supporters despised Humphrey as he was instrumental in getting the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 passed.

                            • Santorum lost because he was an asshole politician and he was going up against a scion of an historic Pennsylvania political family, IIRC.
