Is this a southern thing, or is it conjecture?

We followed that election very closely. It was a combination of color and being of Indian extraction.

What in the H*ll does the color of someones skin have to do with winning an election or not?

Sadly it is going to cost you some votes. It's still the way of the world unfortunately.

In a perfect world, Jindal should have won going away. There is unfortunately lingering prejudice based on skin color along both sides of the divide.
