washingtonpost.com "This guy has never been elected to anything and he's never run for anything, and he's run practically a perfect race," said Ed Renwick, director of the Institute of Politics at Loyola University in New Orleans. With shrewd use of media and his own youth, vigor and rapid-fire, bullet-pointed command of policy, analysts say, Jindal has managed to fashion an unlikely coalition that includes moderate Republican suburbanites, some urban blacks and Democrats, and socially conservative rural whites -- Bubbas, as they are affectionately known in the local vernacular. He has been aided by a generalized sense of despair and longing for change in a state whose relative poverty -- Louisiana ranks among the bottom 10 states in many indicators of prosperity -- led 75,000 more people to leave the state than move in between 1995 and 2000. But analysts say Jindal has also capitalized on a double-barreled media strategy in which he courts conservatives in radio ads that deride liberals, Hollywood and gun control while appealing to moderates in television commercials that portray him as a pragmatic "problem solver." He also emphasizes his faith; he is a devout Catholic who converted from Hinduism in high school.
