55 has two major meanings, in fact:
- First off, it’s ‘merely’ Governor Bobby Jindal’s approval rating in Louisiana last year – and unchanged, six months before the election*.
- Second, it’s the number of signatures on the latest recall petition against Jindal – a petition that expires next week.
If you look at the above Politico article from December, you might suspect that the Politico author might just be the slightest bit disappointed in the second bullet point… although it’s highly unlikely that the author’s name would have been on the petition, even if she did live in Louisiana. Which is kind of the point.

PS: Bobby Jindal for Governor. Like this was a hard call to make. (more…)
, and is (to the best to my knowledge) in the public domain.
