To: an amused spectator
I just posted this thought on the Jindal thread.

So how do you expect the MSM to "Palin" Bobby Jindal? You know they're going to try...

To: Political Junkie Too

First of all, as a Jindal fan, I’m not thrilled that he’s giving the response to Obama’s address tomorrow night. While ordinarily this would be a sought-after spot, and I know some Palin supporters are upset that she is not doing it (not me—I think it was a shrewd move for her not to do it—if she was even asked—who knows—she did meet with McConnell a month ago, but I digress). Obama has been in office for just a month; the love affair continues and the important swing voters are not yet “turned off.” My fear is that Jindal is going to come off as attacking the new president before he has had a chance. I can see important swing voters saying to themselves, “give the guy a chance,” “you’re just a sore loser,” “sour grapes,” “let’s see what he can do before you attack him,” etc. It could put a bad taste in some peoples’ mouths for Jindal.

Jindal has a tough job to do in Louisiana. Let’s face it, his state is not in great shape, and the MSM will bring that up, for sure. More damning, you can bet they won’t let the exorcism stuff die. Don’t be surprised to see video somewhere. That could scare the you know what out of many voters.
