Candidate For Louisiana Governor Switches Parties To Democrat

A Republican gubernatorial candidate switched parties Thursday, adding a Democrat to race that some of the party's biggest names have decided to skip.

State Sen. Walter Boasso had previously announced he was running for governor but had long complained that the state Republican Party gave all its support to U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal (news, bio, voting record) for the fall election.
