Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a one-time rising star in the Republican Party now struggling to become one again, will announce Wednesday afternoon whether he intends to run for president in 2016.
Jindal's appearance -- to be held in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner at 5 p.m. Eastern time -- does not seem much of a mystery. The 44-year-old two-term governor has given every indication that he will run.
He has already traveled multiple times to early-primary states -- spending 45 percent of his days outside of Louisiana last year. And this year, some of Jindal's top state-government aides have already left to join his presidential "exploratory committee."
If Jindal does get into the race as expected, he will be the first Indian-American to ever be a serious candidate for president. But at this point, his chances of winning the GOP nomination seem extraordinarily low.
There are already 12 other major Republican candidates in the race, with several more expected to enter soon. And Jindal is running behind nearly all of them: Several recent polls have shown him at just 1 percent support among GOP voters, either last or tied for last.
In the most recent Fox News poll, the news was even worse. Jindal wasn't just behind all the other candidates, he was also behind "None of the Above," which got 2 percent.

What does Jindal bring to the ticket?
What exactly does Jindal bring to the ticket?
Cruz did renounce the deal that passed the US Senate, and that's good. But he should've seen in coming, that the dems would do something like this to marginalize him. And now, because of that early cooperation, you've got the media touting "Obama's huge trade victory".
What's my point? If it becomes "last man standing", it could come down to Jindal. If not, people are mad as 'ell and could easily vote for Trump.
Is this the highest number of candidates to run for a Presidential election>?
He took on Islamic Immigration-have heard ZERO on this from others
Its too early in the day to start making stupid remarks. Please stop.
Oh good Lord just say no.
Would you rather have Rubio, Bush, or some other RINO?
Jindal is conservative. He and Cruz would make a great team.
This isn't an either or choice - Jindal or a RINO. There are a lot of conservatives out there...and believe it or not some of them aren't currently running for president. Jindal brings nothing to the ticket. He's trashed his state. His popularity in Louisiana is in the toilet. He has no base that any other candidate couldn't attract as well. He would be a bad choice.

***************
We are at 418 candidates that have filed FEC form 2 to be a candidate for president of the USA.
Many of them will be localized and won’t be on the national seen but still the number is large.
Here is a list by date filed

by last name
http://www.fec.gov/press/resources/2016presidential_form2nm.shtml
In U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Supreme Court ignored (deemed “not admissible”) the transcripts of the 1866 Congressional debates, in which the framers of the 14th Amendment had explained the originally-intended meaning of “jurisdiction” [27]. The Court developed its own definition of “jurisdiction”, and based on that definition, the Court ruled (for the first time in Supreme Court history) that the U.S.-born children of alien parents may, under some circumstances, acquire U.S. citizenship at birth [28].
Wong Kim Ark: In U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Opinion of the Court was written by Justice Horace Gray. The Court did not explicitly rule that Mr. Wong was a natural born citizen; it merely ruled that he was a citizen. Neverthless, Justice Gray’s reasoning, when carried to its logical conclusion, seems to imply that all persons born on U.S. soil, except the children of foreign diplomats or enemy invaders, are natural born citizens (see Question 13:Wong Kim Ark)
.I agree. Why did you even reply with your stupid comment.
I like Bobby Jindal and will give him serious consideration for my support.
The questions of who is a NBC was not finalized with that decision.
Obama is a NBC. Dozens of court decisions say so.
Are you a US citizen? If so, then you now (these days) meet the NBC condition. Was this the original intention? Doesn’t matter.
No Obama is not a natural born citizen.
I require proof that these court decisions you talk about are real.
Even Obama signed on to a non binding resolution declaring McCain a natural born citizen because he was born of two US citizens.
...because we don’t have enough Presidential candidates yet.
No Obama is not a natural born citizen.
