Indian immigrant's son likely top vote-getter in Louisiana primary


BATON ROUGE, Louisiana (AP) -- A whiz-kid Republican whose parents emigrated from India is the unlikely front-runner for governor in Saturday's open primary in this state where a majority of white men voted for extremist David Duke just over a decade ago.

Who said Republicans are anti-minority or anti-immigrant? It's just politics, stupid. Just curious - did this guy convert to Christianity.
 
Same as frantic...

did this guy convert to Christianity to pursue his political agenda or did he do it cuz he really felt like it. I am always very skeptical about people who change their religion!

A desi republican is an oddity and winning a primary in LA of all places is even weird. He must be very good!


PS: Just read this on CNN "Jindal appealed to Louisiana's conservatives in radio ads extolling the Ten Commandments and deriding liberals and gun control"! Dont know about you guys but i think he is a sell out!

I am also skeptical about the religious conversions, PGC. You can achieve the same by being in your religion unless it is monetary or political.

Based on his statement in CNN about the 10 commandments, I thought he has converted.
 
It really does not matter, if he is sincere in his work and believes in human values. After all most religions other than Hinduism in India is because of conversions(forced or willingly). But we have good christians, muslims, sikhs, buddhists etc. just like any other hindus.
