The Boston bombers, Time Square, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Google hangouts and Politics with a Punch tonight in New Orleans.
As was expected, the Republicans won the party and the class warfare issue in the House's Health and Welfare committee , giving Governor Bobby Jindal a victory over the Democrats' attempt to accept Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act's expansion.

Jindal has refused to accept the Medicaid expansion. Other bills on the issue are up for future consideration.
