Not yet.

We don’t know enough about Jindal and he doesn’t have enough experience. If he was on a losing ticket, he’s probably never recover his momentum in politics.

As it is, he’s got a long & promising career ahead of him.

While I believe Jindal will someday be part of a Presidential ticket, I don’t think it’s going to happen this time. Just on a SWAG (Scientific Wild-A** Guess), I’d say 2016, maybe 2012.

Bill Kristol: McCain-Jindal?

One thing is now certain. It won't be McCain-Jindal.

Polls show McCain-Romney vs. Obama-Clinton: Obama-Clinton won 47 to 41.

What did we ever do to deserve this?

Yeah, because Louisiana REALLY wants a Governor Mitch Landrieu grabbing absolute control of the state with his sister in the Senate.

This statement is confusing:
That reversal of a three-point McCain lead to a six-point deficit for the McCain ticket suggests what might happen (a) when the Democrats unite, and (b) if McCain were to choose a conventional running mate, who, as it were, reinforced the Republican brand for the ticket. As the McCain aide put it, this is what will happen if we run a traditional campaign; our numbers will gradually regress toward the (losing) generic Republican number.
Who is he categorizing as "conventional"--those who support the platform ("brand")?

So, they continue to think the reason Republicans aren't winning is because those "losing" "generic" Republicans just aren't liberal enough?

well in this PC age in which whites are supposed to not act like they know they are white but everyone else can whine about their racial identity then we must kneejerk choose someone other than white male

how touching and weak

NO! Don't do it, Bobby! Association with McCain will taint you forever. We need you in 2012, UNSPOILED, for when McCain shuffles off the public radar.

Nope.
