Resumes don't win elections. Palin has the most favorable ratings of any governor in the country. She is telegenic and an excellent communicator--superior to Jindal. In any event, both of them represent the future of the party. We need to bring them into the national spotlight and send a lot of these old hacks into retirement. Our candidates should not be chosen on the basis of seniority ala Dole and McCain.
Umm, I don’t think managing two crisis during two hurricanes is resume-building. That’s actually doing something — it’s called being a competent Governor.
Umm, I don’t think cutting taxes is resume-building. Or for that matter, instituting new ethics reforms to get rid of Louisiana’s past corrupt practices. Again, that’s called governing.
True, Jindal is not the most popular governor; but he’s the second most popular governor in the country. Do you honestly think that Palin can out-debate Obama? Please. We need someone who’s a smart (emphasis on smart) conservative who can out-debate the heck out of Obama.
Palin is the past; Jindal is the future.
