Tell you what, Jindal would be a fabulous choice. The "he's not experienced enough" argument would be automatically neutralized by Obama's lack of experience - and the latter is at the top of his ticket.

It would win over many of us who remain deeply suspicious of Senator McCain.

Also, there is strong sentiment to put a "minority" in high office, and someone of (East) Indian lineage would be a choice out of the blue and would alienate neither blacks nor Hispanics.

There's quite a bit to recommend this young conservative governor.

You're right about experience not being a campaign issue the dems can raise. I admit that as one who's not enamored of McCain, but can easily tell who's best for the country in a McCain/Obama matchup, I'm motivated by the fact that Jindal is the type of conservative Republican I'd like to see moving to a higher level withing the party. As are several of the others mentioned.

Of course if we could all stay home, they can go the way of Santorum and Allen :<(.

"Tell you what, Jindal would be a fabulous choice."

Jindal is an excellent conservative and a very good man. I was a member of his grassroots campaign team and have spoken with him several times and he never ceases to impress. However, we are really counting on him to move Louisiana along and it is my sincere hope that he will dance with us for awhile. It would be heartbreaking for him to join a ticket with McCain, and I have sent those thoughts in the form of an email message to his office.
