Jindal would be a great choice, but I think it’s too early for him. Frankly, you might see him on the Republican ticket for the top spot in 2012, certainly no later that 2016.
Right now, though, we need him right here in Louisiana. He’s already pushed reform legislation through that will make state legislators disclose their finances - and any ties to companies with bidding on state contracts. That’s a first for this state.
And because of that the Louisiana Supreme Court is pushing a rule through madating the same for judges.
It’s about time.

Jindal is fantastic but, he needs to stay in Louisiana for 8 years to fix that place - hopefully once and for all.
And McCain proved what an idiot he is by standing in New Orleans and lambasting President Bush declaring it will never happen again. Bobby Jindal’s overwhelming election is PROOF Senator McCain, that New Orleans’ problems were primarily caused by people from NO and LA, from the Mayor up to the Governor and many people in between. The true incompetence happened at the local and state level and THAT is what you should have been lambasting you idiot.
I agree with the theory that McCain needs a “Jindal” a LOT more than a Jindal needs McCain. In fact Jindal should say NO, and not sully a future Presidency by association with this clown McCain.

Jindal is too young and we need a person with more experience.

I agree on rising star Jindal.
McCain aught to take a close, serious look at J.C. Watts of Oklahoma. Watts, an attractive and articulate African-American and a former Canadian pro football player, has 4 terms in the House under his belt, gave a riveting, rousing speech at the Republican convention in 2000, and possesses genuine conservative values.
In a tight race against Obama or Clinton, Watts could erode some democrat votes and open the doors to a broader GOP base.

Definitely have hopes for Jindal in the future, but I’m with pparets, I’m a big fan of JC Watts. But frankly, I don’t have any confidence that McCain will pick anybody that exciting.

I’m also a huge fan of JC Watts, he would be a great VP candidate. But I don’t think he wants it. Too bad, McCain needs him too. I think McCain is going to stick it to us, he has no interest in taking a “true conservative”. Besides what “true conservative” could sit by on the ticket while McCain goes and courts the likes of La Raza?
Fully agree. Jindal--2012 or 2016 and beyond.
