WHAT IS BOBBY AFRAID
OF?
Jindal Continues to Sidestep
His Opponents and
Dodges More Debates and
Forums
BATON ROUGE

to step up and commit to debating his opponents
in their race for governor. It’s time Bobby
defends his record in Congress and offers solid
and distinct plans for this state instead of
vast generalities. The people of
Instead, Bobby has continued to
dodge each and every request for such a forum
and prefers only to address voters at events he
controls. Rather than debate his opponents,
Bobby finds time to speak at Kiwanis, or
Chamber meetings all across the state with
little or no notice to the press in another
attempt to stifle questions or
criticism.

“Bobby’s run from debates is the
sign of a coward; if he can’t control the
situation he doesn’t want to participate,” said
Louisiana Democratic Party Chairman Chris
Whittington.
“We live in a democracy where
voters have the right to question and challenge
candidates rather than rely on sound bites and
canned statements before casting their vote for
governor. Bobby says the voters aren’t paying
attention right now. I’ve got news for him –
they are and they deserve a leader who stands
up for their record rather than runs from it,”
Whittington said.
