It is not too early to start thinking about 2012. I think, if he is indeed a Republican, that General David Petraeus would be a PHENOMENAL candidate for the Republicans.
I, for one, do think that in four years time it will not be "bread and butter" tabletop, economic issues that will be driving national debate but instead a myriad of increasingly frightening international developments, i.e., a nuclear-enabled Iran, a collapse of a nuclear-capable North Korea, continued Al Quada militancy, and the largest one, an attack by Russia upon the independent nation of the Ukraine. Americans will tire of "Yes, we can!" and "Hope and Change" in the face of such reality and will be clamoring for true, steady leadership.
Jindal will be there for back-up. A brilliant, reform-minded Governor with a dazzling resume who is only 41 years old.
What say you??
