About the 2007 governor elections

Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi held governor elections in 2007, in the last full year of George W. Bush's presidency and two years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. In Louisiana, Republican Congressman Bobby Jindal, who had lost to Kathleen Blanco in 2003, won the open primary with a majority and avoided a runoff. Blanco did not seek re-election after heavy criticism of the state's response to Katrina. Jindal became the first Indian American governor in the country. In Mississippi, Republican Governor Haley Barbour, whose handling of the storm's aftermath was widely praised in the state, beat Democrat John Arthur Eaves Jr. by about 16 points. Kentucky changed hands. Democrat Steve Beshear, a former lieutenant governor, defeated Governor Ernie Fletcher by about 17 points. Fletcher had been damaged by an investigation into hiring practices in state government.
