Louisiana is one of the three states that will be holding their gubernatorial elections in 2007. In Louisiana a candidate must get 50% of the vote in order to get elected, so if no candidate receives 50% the top two candidates will advance to a second round of voting.
Likely the two candidates who will advance to the second round are incumbent Democratic governor Kathleen Blanco, and the main Republican candidate Congressman Bobby Jindal. Currently Blanco suffers from a relatively low approval rating, and has suffered from her action surrounding Hurricane Katrina. Jindal ran for governor in the last election, and as a relative unknown lost to Blanco by only four points. I predict that Jindal will finish first in the first round with 47-49 percent, and will then go on to a fairly comfortable win over Blanco in the second round.
