well if he is electable in Louisiana.. will he be electable in the north?
how are his approval ratings in LA?
his approval ratings are pretty high.
He did a very good job handeling the hurricane this year.
The thing that is interesting (and maybe nationally prophetic)
Jindal got beat 5 years ago by a democrat because of his race. Then 4 years later that democrat had done such a horrible job that she didnt even run for reelection and Jindal won with big numbers.
religion as a whole when it mixes with political discourse scares me. i don't like when obama has to talk about being xtian. i don't like his assoc with wright. if it were up to me, i wish obama was an agnostic. but one can't be an outright agnostic to run for national office in the US. what worries me with jindal is that from the talks i've heard him give, his social policies are based too much on religion IMO. i long for the day where religion is not brought up at all in political discourse in america but that won't happen in my lifetime.
so your looking for an America that has never existed?
First thing they would need to do is get him a voice coach. The man talks way too fast to be understood. Heard him at press confrences during the last hurricane preperation.
So in 08' the GOPs argument is that the DNC candidate has a funny name; funny associations; and supposedly has a funny religion (i.e. lies about Obama being a muslim).
But in 12' the GOP should put up a candidate that has a funny name (Piyush Jindail, Bobby being a nickname from the Brady Bunch); has funny associations (hindu background, and later very extreme catholic beliefs).
What if India decides to invade Pakistan, Bushes' partner in the war on terror despite his recent bombings? If Bin Laden is known to be in Pakistan would you want a US president that was an immigrant to a country that is their sworn enemy?

The GOP's argument with Obama was that he had associations with domestic terrorists, a racist religious leader, and ties to a corrupt organization. Jindal has no such background. He was born in the USA, his parents are immigrants. And I would rather have someone who worships deeply, than someone who listens to "G******" America" for twenty years.
