GERARD SHIELDS - - Baton Rouge Advocate
| As a result of the recent election, Louisiana is becoming known as the land of the scholars, debunking its long held "good ol' boy" political reputation.
The recently elected Congress will have 24 House members and seven senators with advanced degrees next year. But no state will be able to top Louisiana, which will have two Rhodes scholars among its delegation. In addition, depending on next month's runoff in the 7th District, it could add a heart surgeon to the roster.
