Jindal is actually a truly brilliant guy, and he is a conservative, although he has not been very effective getting his conservative policies into place.

His problem is that he just isn't a great politician in terms of getting things done in the political sausage maker.

That is definitely a strike against him in terms of seeking higher office... but I don't hold it against him as a person that he isn't very effective wheeling and dealing behind the scenes with the cronies and the crooks.
