When was the last time the failed VP candidate a major party’s nominee later on (excepting Walter Mondale; he was also a successful VP candidate)?

He needs to stay in LA though, both as a grooming and maturing step. Handling LA Dems shouldn’t be too far off handling toads like Dean and his ilk at the national level. Jindal has been worked over by the Blanco machine, so that experience will come in handy.

Letting him give a major convention speech is a superb idea, as it will expose him to the rest of the country and give them a chance to discover him. He needs to have an exemplary record in LA, particularly with the Katrina cleanup to solidify his bona fides.

I have been following Jindal for many years, and he would be a perfect presidential candidate. Dems will howl “he’s a me too candidate” but in actuality, he is a “me better” (pardon the grammar) candidate. The Dems have nothing to match him. Obama is a flawed as can be, and nothing but a bloviating empty suit.

You can be sure that he is a genuine conservative when liberal Indian publications slam or diminish him when possible.

To wit (a long but revealing diatribe http://www.littleindia.com/october2003/Till%20Ethnicity%20Do%20us%20Part.htm):
Little India is a liberal publication distributed for free (isn’t it funny how people will not pay for fishwrap?) on streetcorners. Its editor, one Achal Mehta, is a NY liberal of the first order, and refuses to answer or publish any of my written commentaries on his screed. Surprise.

“My disregard for his candidacy is not over his own personal integrity, his talents or his accomplishments. I am dismayed by his political loyalties.”

Huh?

Bobby Jindal seems to be a decent man. Whatever his personal achievements, he is going to conform to the discipline of the GOP and he is going to be used as a false symbol of the GOP’s “inclusiveness.” Let us not promote someone who stands with those who want to make mayhem in our world, just because they share an ethnicity with us. That is the crudest, most vulgar form of politics.

It is long but worth a read. It is a collection of patently and steriotypically weak Democrat arguments against Jindal, but part of the early and continuing campaign to dismiss him.

It just makes him stronger in my opinion!

Part of G.W.B.’s problem was that he never got out of the Texas State House. He kept wishing he would be able to win the Democrats over, but the Democrats at the national level are a whole different beast than the dems at the state level. That he never figured this out (it’s not that hard to do) is one of the reasons his administration failed so miserably. But figuring it out is one thing. Playing the game and winning is quite another.

Good Luck, Bobby.

Thanks Bobby, for daring to take on the cesspool that is Louisiana politics. God bless you and godspeed.
