Will the GOP have to put either a woman or a minority on the ticket to avoid looking like "good old boys???"

I admit that I don't know much about Jindel's policies. What are some of his "fresh conservative ideas" that you speak of?

Is Messiah really the best insult anyone can come up with now? It's getting weak in reference to Obama, now you're going to try to spread it around to Gore? LOL That's pretty sad.

To OP: I actually really like Jindal, I'd like to see what he could do in 2016, though. Anyone they run in 2012 will just a be a throw away candidate.

2016 will be the year that Hillary will be the democratic nominee. We could see a Hillary vs Palin match up which would guarantee a woman president.

But in 2012, If Bobby Jindal is not the republican nominee, he'll likely be the running mate.

One downside that hurt Jindal is that fact that at one time he was Hindu He actually wrote in an article: "I considered myself anti-Christian". That could come back and haunt Jindal in a presidential campaign. Bobby's first name is really Piyush but he adopted the name Bobby from the Brady Bunch.

Being that he is not a democrat or a liberal, that WILL come to haunt him in a way Wright, Ayers and Rezco never could hurt Obama.

Will the media chauffeur be waiting for Jindal like they did for Obama because he is a new, fresh face and *cough* a MiNoRiTy??? Nope, because he's not liberal.

Bobby Jindal needs to stop worrying about 2012. He should be worried about the resurgency of KKK down there in Louisiana.
