but it appears that Jindal is outspending Blanco right now. He is all over the television (has been for weeks) and I get slick, glossy, mailings from his campaign about once a week. Jindal is billing himself as "A problem solver. Not a politician", and he keeps running attack ads accusing Blanco of running attack ads. Heh.
Blanco is not as visible, but she is finally running tv commercials and focusing on Jindal's terrible record as DHH Secretary back in the 1990s. The ads should have considerable impact on senior citizens and working families who already have trouble affording medical care and prescription drugs.
IMHO, it could go either way right now. I think the election will come down to whether or not the Dems can get out the vote for Blanco. Sad to say, but if I was betting money on this one, I would put it on Jindal. I hope I'm wrong. Sen. Landrieu did manage to get out the vote and win the runoff against Terrell last December when the pundits were all expecting Terrell to win. Maybe Louisiana will come through for the Dems again. I haven't given up quite yet.
