The GOP Tailgate Contest is picking up steam. The contest, which encourages Republicans to throw a political-themed tailgate party at sports events, began in North Carolina in 2006. But it's growing.
Republican tailgaters have sent in photos of a party at an LSU football game for governor-elect Bobby Jindal. The contest has also received submissions from supporters of Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney in battleground primary states.
