<p>I think MacCain should choose this guy. He is the face of the future GOP. If he is not chosen, he should be given an opportunity to talk during the convention. </p>
<p>I don’t agree with his social views, but I agree with most of his economic views.</p>
<p>Oh please God no, let him reform Louisiana before he is sent into federal politics.</p>
<p>Can someone please help me move this to the cafe?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>One year of big league experience (governor, Senator, etc.) is not anywhere near enough to consider someone for the Vice Presidency. Jindal should knuckle down, do a good job in in first major office, gain some experience, and think about moving up when he’s more qualified.</p>
<p>I agree with Post #2. Let’s see some creative thinking and agressive action in Louisiana’s government operations before we promote Governor Jindal. At present, he simply just a parrot for some conservative points of view. Look for the Republicans to exploit his ethnic background.</p>
<p>if he is smart and ambitious, he should decline. clean up LA. right now he is just as empty as Obama.</p>
<p>I also think he should do something in LA first, and get more experience. I listened to him talk today on C-span, and I have to say he is very impressive.</p>
<p>He’s obviously very smart. If we were choosing people based on intelligence it’d be Romney vs. Obama.</p>
<p>But it WOULD be nice to have an intelligent President for a change.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Which, now that I think about it, would have been an interesting match-up.</p>
<p>
Are you kidding? As good a candidate Romney is, he would have been slaughtered. Mormons are political pariahs.</p>
<p>Gov. Jindal has a much more impressive resume than either Obama or Clinton and has skads more executive experience.</p>
<p>Obama / Romney would have been the battle of the slick-talker empty suits.</p>
<p>I’m hoping for Kay Bailey Hutchinson. With McCain’s age, that way I would have a pretty good chance of voting for the first female president after all.</p>
<p>I don’t know her politics, but the Republicans could do some serious, serious damage putting a semi-centrist woman on the ticket with McCain and give all the Clitnon supporters a place to go.</p>
<p>“I’m hoping for Kay Bailey Hutchinson. With McCain’s age, that way I would have a pretty good chance of voting for the first female president after all.”</p>
<p>I like that idea very much.</p>
<p>I just checked out his wiki page. Graduated from Brown at 20, Oxford at 22 thanks to a Rhodes scholarship, appointed president of University of Louisiana system at 28, part of Bush administration at 30, US house of reps at 33, Governor of Louisiana at 36. Jesus. </p>
<p>I agree however. It’d be a bit hypocritical to rail against Obama for lack of experience then let this guy slide.</p>
