You're in a tiny minority on FR if you question the conservatism of Gov. Jindal, but here's some fairly good evidence of it.

I was part of a tiny minority on FR that said MccAin't would never win... Majority here is not a Conservative consensus. Far from it.

Palin is not a Conservative, at least not on her record and her statements. She seems to be a moderate with libertarian leanings, in the Thompson mold. Before lending her support, I would recommend a thorough debate on how she might rise to the normal argument for a Conservative candidate:

Explain to me (succinctly) how she will harness the three pillars of Conservatism- What are the qualifications that make her attractive to each, and how does she reflect an ability to unify them. Remember: Unlike here, Conservatives vote record- so no flowers and unicorns please... Give me facts. I am opposed to her as a candidate (and in a leadership role) on this basis, so I will rebut, but I am open to being convinced. It is my position that she is not a Reagan Conservative, and therefore cannot join the 3 pillars of the Reagan Coalition. As such, she should be rejected.

May I suggest you begin by reading the aforementioned posts by GipperGirl.

And how about defining for us your 3 Pillars of the Reagan coalition. It is always best to begin a discussion by defining your terms. Wouldn't you say?
