I just advocated for Jindal on the Palin thread. I think the Republican party has to reach out to minorities and Asians are the perfect fit. Stable marriages, high respect for education, and they work hard. That is the blueprint for personal responsibility. The excellent book ‘No Excuses’ about the racial gap in learning between blacks and whites makes the point that Asian parents do not think that either environmental factors or genetics are barriers to success. They expect all their children to work hard and get good grades. Let’s reach out.

Plus Jindal is Catholic (I'm Protestant), and could reach that crucial block of swing voters.

I believe so. Which is funny because the second I saw Obama won, my mind instantly jumped to Jindal (and although I have a political science degree, I am not a party expert)... its great to see I am not the only one.

Someone should reserve Jidal/Palin2012.com

Has a very nice ring to it.

Let’s concentrate on the house and senate first and stop trying to force people into the white house. Jindal will run when and if he wants to.

I like Palin myself, but this is what we have to do now. We have to nudge/push/shove these old roosters out of the party & get some youth in there! It’s way past time. There are several up and comings in the party that need to replace the stale old ones that are singing the same old tired tune. This is our mission, and we have 4 years to accomplish it. We also have the mission of getting more of our people in congress in two years.

Let’s roll up our sleeves, we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us!

So far I like what I’ve seen with Jindal. As much as I like Sarah, the national spotlight has not been kind and unless she grows a lot in the next 3 years, I think she’ll fade from the national scene. My biggest fear when McCain picked her was that she was still a bit too green and that the press would destroy whatever great political future was in her cards (as I truly believed was in her cards) before she even got a chance.

I’m hoping I’m proven wrong, but to this point it’s fallen into place exactly as I feared.

Still, I think we have to focus on 2010 first. We need gains in 2 years!

I think Jindal is our best shot for 2012 or 2016 if Nobama gets re-elected.

Palin is great and I really think she’s a breath of fresh air in the political scene. I do think, however, the media has ruined her for future national political office. Unfortunately, they have an unbridled passion for making regular folks, in which I include Mrs. Palin, look stupid because they don’t go to Ivy League schools, and don’t hang in the political “in” crowd.

Jindal will be battle-tested and will get not get the “he’s dumb” label since he was a Rhodes scholar and would capably be able to go toe-to-toe with Nobama.

Palin would’ve eaten Obama’s lunch in a debate, and is very capable, and I think would be a great President in 4 years. Unfortunately, I think she’s going to have too much baggage.

"Republican governors remain popular with constituents despite the national repudiation of presidential standard-bearer John McCain ..."

So now 56% of the vote is national repudiation. Give me a break!

I am sick of the Gentleman’s Old Party (GOP). They have a lovely woman in Alaska that won the hearts of conservatives during this election and that worked her butt off to try to get elected an antiquated old man who did not respect her during or after the election and they are choosing to push her aside to bring in the new young MEN....the Republican party needs to get its head on straight, understand that Hillary will not run for President if Obama runs again in 2012, and by not doing that will not be the first woman President.

The Republican party has a great opportunity to start right now and prime and polish Sarah Palin, preparing her IN THE RIGHT WAY for the national scene. The first minority President has already been elected. The Republican party could make history with the first woman...but...noooooooooooo.....it will be business as usual, looking at THE MAN as the only viable candidate. I wish women in this country would start their own party. Now, that’s an idea!

a new face and new leadership and younger leadership

Sorry, that's not how it works in the official GOP presidential-party-covenant.

Whoever is the next OLDEST (R) senator in line after McCain will be the 2012 nominee.

IT'S HIS TURN.

Who is the oldest Republican out there who has shown up on Meet the Press the most? That's who we'll pick in 2012. < /I wish it was sarcasm>

Jindal was my first choice for VP this year, but he made it quite clear that he was just recently elected governor and had a lot to do in Louisiana still.

I think Bobby’s fantastic.

But look out for Rahm Emanuel’s Oppo Sharks.....they are already in the water.

Someone should start a blog to knock down all the invented “scandals” the dirty Dems will spew. This week would be a good time to start.

If so let’s not get caught up in a game of tokenism and oneupmanship i.e. ‘we’ll see your minority and raise you one.’

John Boehner won’t run for president and I can’t fathom why.

I liked Palin a lot, but the one VP choice I would have preferred was Jindal. At the same time, he has even less time in the Governor’s seat than Palin (Both have done remarkable things in record time).

I like both of them, it’s way too early to tell, we need to avoid battles over personal loyalties, we need to be a team, a TEAM right now. Primaries will come soon enough.
