I have been a big Bobby booster here on FR and elsewhere but I suggest we remain cautious and vigilant. Bobby may have statist tendencies when it comes to health care and other social welfare issues. It is not clear that he believes that inefficiency and corruption are significant and inevitable in all government programs and that government must therefore be minimized. Like Romney and to an even greater degree Huckabee, he seems to think that so long as honest, well-intended people are in charge and programs are well and closely managed, then the nanny state is acceptable and effective. Let’s keep an eye on him.
While I share your concerns of being cautious about Jindal, please, let’s not start comparing him to Flip Romney just yet. From what I can tell, Bobby Jindal has been pretty solid with his stances.
