However, there will be 100 people on FR who will be complaining tomorrow that they read somewhere that Jindal’s name is up for consideration.
Smart man- he has a much better chance in the future with a solid record with a least one full term at LA Governor than by tying his fate to McCain.
His success at the next level will be due to his achievements in reforming the great state of Louisiana. Jumping up to run on a national ticket now makes little sense. He is only 36 years old, anyway....that’s literally half of McCain’s age, which would probably not be an asset
Smart man...

Good judgment on Jindal’s part. He will finish a very successful governorship and his credibility will increase ten fold.
This is not news, Jindal's statement is verbatim what he has been saying for months, and has not taken Jindal the least bit out of contention.
Compare Jindal's statement to the Sherman's definitive rendering:
"If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve."
I wonder if he would like to run up here to Michigan when he’s done in Louisiana. We could use some help here.
Wise move. If he took it he’d be acting too soon, with only a few months as governor. Better to wait and maybe run some time in the future when he has proven himself.
Also, if he took it and lost, he would be finished, wiped out, no more chances.
Haley Barbour would make more sense if you want a governor from that part of the country.
The problem is, the conservative movement was gaining momentum during the early Bush years, but nobody was being groomed for the job. And then the pros stuck a lousy RINO into the works.
I’d settle for Fred Thompson, presuming that McCain could twist his arm hard enough to persuade him to run. That would wake up the Evangelical vote, I believe, and pull lin the conservative base.
Bobby has already proven his willingness to tell the media one thing over and over and over again, and then do the exact opposite when it becomes politically expedient.
A person to watch in four to eight years.
Jindal on the ticket would be a loser, as would Romney.
Jindal has just proved he has the
political maturity (unlike the 143 day wonder) to someday become POTUS.
Translation:
McCain has decided on Mitt, and now he’s arranging for everyone to walk away with their dignity and future prospects intact.
Seriously. Mitt can turn this thing around.
I know, he’s just the VP.
He can.
