I’ve learned a little bit more from yesterday. Yesterday I might have said something too personal that I couldn’t say plainly, so it sounded tedious. Sorry.
So the latest thing in my mind is Bobby Jindal – what an extraordinary guy. As the governor of Louisiana, he runs on ethics and Republican standards and is heralded as having a stellar political career (and he’s only 37). And he is making huge strides in Louisiana despite the setbacks “levied” on to him early in his career.
Republicans around the nation are giving him the thumbs up to be McCain’s VP and true to form, McCain has invited Jindal over and they’ve compensated for each other’s faults by pandering to constituencies in black neighborhoods, rich neighborhoods, etc.
I just don’t know if I want Jindal to be associated with McCain in 2008 when the Democratic backlash is so huge. Plus there was a statistic that if Romney was McCain’s VP the public vote would be 59% in McCain’s favor. But then again, if McCain loses, no losing VP has ever come back to win the presidential election since 1920.
I think Jindal can be a legitimate presidential candidate in 2012, provided he keep away from McCain – unless his counter-personality can topple Obama.
What do you think?
