This time they will have to follow the conservative ideals and NOT lean left for any reason.

Jindal has a promising future, but he will have to wait his turn. Way to many rising stars in the rep party right now to know who is going to move.

Oh my gosh, how can any one be worse then what we already have, he is not promising at all. He has been full of it from day 1. Full of hot air!

People have to wonder.
They (right) came up w/McSame, then it started w/Failin' Palin, then (palin/beck 2012) omg, some righty pulls this guy's name out of a hat (or someone else did) (savage talk radio) then they post this garbage here in a public forum.....
Does the right have any brains at all? It's looking more and more like nobody in 2012 because they keep scraping the bottom of the barrell. If this is all they have, we democrats might get another 4 years of Obama, and that wouldn't bother me one bit. He sure beats the heck out of fear mongering and foreign country invasions.

Keep dreaming.

The rep ticket wont be a weak ticket in 2012.

And at this point I think almost any ticket opposite of Obama would beat him.

If things continue as they are because of Obama's policies, it is a sure bet that he will be going back to Chicago being the worse ever.

The left, including YOU, come up with the names of who YOU think will be running in 2012. Then you and the others run with those names.

Keep your eye on Palin and Beck. Spend the next 3 years worrying about those two and I will be happy.

Why? Because you will be wasting your time worrying and getting ulcers about those two!

Let me tell you a secret, Palin will draw millions of people over to the rep candidate in 2012, but she wont be the nominee. Ok, now you know. You can go on to attack someone else now.

Funny how the left attack Jindals beliefs but thought it was none of our business that Obamie the Commie went to an anti American church of hate for 20 years.

What kind of Dad would allow his children to sit and listen to that racist ranting and I hate America crap week end and week out?

The libs need to be afraid, very afraid.

2012, the end of liberalism in America, thanks to the mistake an hour maker Obama.

I think you're dreaming.
And hey, if there were not so many stupid republicans, we lefties wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

Anyone else here from LA care to chime in on Jindal? I'm interested to hear what people have to say. The man seems pretty intelligent
I feel he would be great, has promise and might very well be our President someday, but I don't think he is ready yet. Let's look at maybe 2020>.

You can't be serious..I can tell you a couple of minority men and women that could have and would have had the complete support of the party had they decided to run. Your statement shows how narrow minded some peoples thinking can be.

In regards to Jindal, take a look at some of the VERY Republican Parishes he lost during his first run for Governor in 2003. Why do you think he lost them?

Jindal is an interesting name to watch. Name recognition may not matter if he can "bring it", but unfortunately, there are many that still don't know much about him. He's got gubernatorial experience. If he does decide to run, he'd best get going sooner and not later. And a new name is always a breath of fresh air.
