Yes, 2011 is defintely a quiet year for electoral activity. But an important one. The 2012 campaigns--from president and congress--will actually start in 2011. So much to watch, especially as we near the first GOP presidential primaries in early-2012. And we'll also be following a few key, "off-year" elections, including:
Chicago mayoral race
Iowa Republican presidential straw poll (The Republican
Party of Iowa's 2011 Iowa Straw Poll, set for Aug. 14 at the Iowa State
Center in Ames)
Kentucky governor's race
Mississippi governor's race
Dallas mayoral race
Phoenix mayoral race
Louisiana governor's race

Politico reports that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, "seen by many Republicans as the most
promising standard-bearer for a remade party, said at a Richmond, Va
press conference that he isn't running for president in 2012. At a news conference Wednesday with Bob McDonnell, Virginia's 2009
Republican candidate for governor, Jindal was asked if he was
interested in being president, AP reports. His answer: "No." Jindal said he's planning to run for reelection in 2011, something that
would make pivoting to a national campaign logistically and politically
tricky."
