Another Indian-American politician of note

Bobby Jindal, Indian-American governor of Louisiana, has been a very successful GOP CEO of a southern state and is about to be joined by yet another Indian-American, Nikki Haley, poised to become the next governor of South Carolina.  What's happening here with these Republican "ethnic" politicians?  George Will in one of his more insightful articles provides the answer here,  Given history, it is most interesting that these "new" faces on the political scene are surfacing in southern states and even more interesting that they are surfacing in states that appear to be moving forward these days.  South Carolina, for example, has landed several major plants from Boeing and German car companies, as a result of lower taxes and an environment conducive to business interests.  California, Washington state and  some of the other blue states would do well to study these laboratories of capitalism to get themselves back on track.
