Here is video of Rep. Tom Tancredo assessing the performance the other night of Gov. Bobby Jindal in giving the GOP Response to President Barack Obama's address. In short, Tancredo says Jindal's content was great but his delivery was lousy. In fact, he says it was so lousy that his performance may have "put the last nail in the coffin" on his chances of becoming President. Tancredo says Jindal is a great intellect but did not show himself to be a "leader" in his speech.

Tancredo believes Gov. Mitt Romney is best positioned now to lead the GOP forward in 2012. Tancredo made the comments during an interview at CPAC today, February 26, 2009.

As I said the other night, I believe Jindal's content was great but his delivery certainly could have been better. But I just don't think that speech will end Jindal's chances for the Presidency. He still has a very bright future, and could be the next GOP President in 2016 if not in 2012. Remember, everyone laughed off Bill Clinton after his disastrous speech at the Democratic Convention in 1988 that went on and on and on. But four years later, he became President. Four years is a very long time in politics. I would not count Jindal out just yet. . . . . (Watch Video)

I wasn’t aware of which way the previous website leaned, just that it was racist garbage. I don’t see anything on your second link proving that the rhodes scholarship is part of a “secret society” or that its inductees should be automatically distrusted, as you originally alleged. Textbook genetic fallacy, once again.

I believe we need to start looking, and not count on Republican party to provide a patriot with zeal, who is conservative. If we are to overcome this marxist agenda it will take an unknown, who is not a member of secret societies who’ve infiltrated both parites to implement communism, as our nation is under attack from without and within.

Just another push for mitt the twit. This factional and devisive approach is what gave us Mr. Executive Hair, the Huckster and “America’s Mayor” all with their own sizeable faction and all splitting the conservative vote. Add in the half-dozen or so more minor players and we had McPain stuffed up our backsides which led to BO Plenty being shoved down our throats.

Now is the time to begin settling on a real conservative and start the push for the next election. Add to that pushing viable and conservative congressional candidates for the midterm.

Just being a governor, a general, a preacher, a corporate executive or being “right” on one issue does not mean you have the right stuff to lead our nation. Being a perfect speaker does not make you a shoe-in either.

Too many governors, generals and corporate execs are MANAGERS and not LEADERS. Most generals I served with were managers and egg-sucking politicians but not leaders. Managers manage things, leaders lead people and there is a huge difference.
