Who Should Be VP?

Do you think some of those same people in the Gulf region might think "Wait a minute you just became Governor of Louisiana less than a year ago, and now you're suddenly off to Washington. What about us?"

I could see Jindal being a keynote speaker at this or the 2012 convention and then being a Presidential candidate in 2012 or 2016 (depending on what happens this year)

Well, to some extent, the same can be said about Obama. Obviously there's a difference between a departing Senator and a departing Governor. But Jindal could make the argument, "now I'm inside the Beltway. I can make a bigger difference. I'll never forget the fine people of Lousiana, you're the one's who gave me my start. I determined to fight poverty, etc. "

But yes, I can see him lining up the White House in '12 or '16.
