He is young, colored, active, VERY conservative and charismatic. Basically like I said several times before he is speaker at the RNC this year, same path Obama got to his political position today, he will likely be a VP choice in 2012, not this year.

I think he would make him out to be more of an "object" by saying, "well hes colored lets just put him on the ticket".

haha especially when he's from the South himself (technically, although I doubt Southerners are too happy to call Washington DC part of the South)

And Jindal, he's great; a decade younger and a TON more experienced and lots more bona fides than Obamessiah.

Man, I wish we could get someone like him in NJ.

Won't ever happen, though.

Kind of my take too. He seems like a pretty smart guy. Smart enough to know better than to have an "R" next to his name.

Jindal is probably the most conservative guy in the GOP right now, we're talking about a guy who voted 100% pro-life, a guy who voted to make the patriot act PERMANENT, a guy who voted to teach intelligent design in school, what would make you think that he would not have a R next to his name.

p.s. hate to break your heart sweetie, but ever heard of the mason dixon line? you're in the south too.
Most neo-commi-crats ( new for dumocrats ) are not smart enough to know what state they live in let alone where the Mason Dixon line is.

Jindal is better then any neo commi crat you have to offer for VP.

Bring it on loons, its time to DEBATE the TRUTH.

Jmarquise and Sunshine: Mason-Dixon represents the geographical divide between North and South. It does not represent the political-cultural divide between North and South today. Historically D.C., Maryland, Virginia and Maryland were not held by the confederacy either. Secondly places along the Southeast coast have long been changed drastically by our mobility, places such as Charlotte, Charleston, down to Florida you can find a good deal of Northern transplant, and "half-backs", in order to define politics as cultural, it certainly does not include D.C. post Civil War to present. while geographically it will always be Southern as "South of the Mason-Dixon".

Indians are Caucasians, so the "colored" reference, aside from being annoying and outdated, is incorrect. Perhaps if people stopped worrying about pigment we could move along in this country. Geesh
