Jindal has supposedly been doing very well for Louisiana in all of this, from what I've read.
Governor Haley Barbour (R) of Mississippi is being thought of by some as 2012 Presidential material.
Barbour's most recent famous quote (it came after, "Those are just normal tar balls on our beaches"), is about the BP escrow account to pay for the people they've hurt:
"It bothers me to talk about causing an escrow to be made, uh, which will, which makes it less likely that they'll make the income that they need to pay us."
Uh. Okay.
