His family video is here. His wife’s name is Supriya Jolly Jindal, and he has 3 children.
His wife looks different from the Huma that was linked above: the latter sounds more like a Muslim. Speaking of which, I do hope that he is as anti-Islamic as they come, and not a panderer of Islam like Bush or McCain.

I tip my hat to you for your great call in posting about Bobby Jindal!

A few weeks ago I talked about Bobby Jindal under one of these topics on HotAir. I posted a summary of his resume-bioography. He, and his resume-biography, are quite impressive, to say the least.

I am so disappointed at Obama, Clinton, and McCain as the main, most supported presidential candidate choices that I was even considering writing Bobby Jindal, or J C Watts in for president.

But many also question his Indian”ness.” They don’t like the fact that he converted from his origional Religion, Hinduism, to Catholicism. Many that I’ve talked to wonder if there is anything really Indian left about him except his skin color.

His conversion is the only thing I have against him, being a Hindu myself, but I usually vote for people I agree with, regardless of whether I like them or not, so I would definitely support him if he were a future candidate. From a national POV, the possibility that there may be nothing ‘really Indian’ left in him is a positive, particularly in a GOP field that puts either individual or country above sectarian groups.

Interesting Funky… pretty funny since you don’t have a clue about the “oil business” yet put a nice blurb from rueters on here about My Gov.

Did it happen to mention the reason why Palin happened to do that? other then the little blimp you put on there. FYI Palin did that due to the Unit (area) not being Developed in a timely manner. I.E. there are regualtions for what is going on and if they do not abide via State or Federal Rules then the Gov or the DOE can fine them. Hmmmm didn’t realize that now did ya!

Also the oil companies are dickering with not just the State of Alaska, but also the Federal Gov concerning a natural gas pipeline to be brought down to all the screaming liberals in the lower 48, that want cheaper heating! The Oil Comps want more and are willing to screw each other out of the deal as well, so no one gets the natural gas and the price can go higher.

Also, Alaska hasn’t had the best governors lately and all they did was spend. At least Palin cut the budget in HALF and made it feasible for the future.

Interesting how some people don’t look into the whole reason and just go off what they read.

born in Baton Rouge, just as American as you are, if you are.

You missed the point and I don’t have to prove my citizenship to you.

BHO is a reaction.

BHO has no executive experience.

Conservatives will elect conservatives. Infatuation with principle is color blind.

I don’t get it? Are we supposed to crown him because he is a minority?

Is he supposed to be our reaction to Obama?

Governor Jindal is not a reaction. He’s a leader and a tough conservative. Elected Governor in ‘06, he is an acting executive, who btw had executive experience before getting elected.

BHO is a reaction.

This may be one of the most politically ambitious goals I have ever seen. He genuinely wants to alter the course of history for Louisiana. He may have Presidential aspirations, but I’m pretty certain he’s in the Louisiana revival game until it’s won.

Jindal’s campaign tactics of using public disclosure are huge political winners. When he campaigns, he pledges to have donor data posted to his website in 48 hours. This is light years faster than the disclosure to the FEC. It’s a simple mechanism that takes advantage of new media and the voters love it. He doesn’t hide the donor money. There is no “back room dealing”. It’s an open campaign and the door is always unlocked.

Is he supposed to be our reaction to Obama?

It is not just Jindal, but term limit legislation of Vitter that put the opportunity in place with about 50% of the legislature being newly elected that put it through, along with that landslide win in the open primary.

I really just love the house member from New Orleans Lower Ninth Ward (surely after Katrina this locale was widely publicized), Marchand. She publicly objected to the amount that lobbists were allowed to spend per legislature on a meal at $50. She stated that they could not even eat at Taco Bell on such a small amount. I am certain that the highly educated electorate of her district really understand this.

The ethics reform package was watered down a bit with the judges (elected by the way) taken out of it and the promise of the state supreme court initiating its own ethics reform package for the judiciary.

We have yet to have seen enforcement of the new laws. Hopefully for the citizens of the state, this is much more than perception and window dressing legislation.

“One day Louisiana’s going to be well governed…and it ain’t gonna like it.”

Apparently, we’re about to find out if the old rogue was right.

And, yes Captain…about Mark Sanford. I’ve heard him speak at a convention (wow!), and am familiar with his record.

These two men are shining examples that conservatism is alive and well, just like all the state referendums throughout the country in ‘06 on the legal protection for marriage did.

LOL. True. True. Democrats already played the name game with him though. Instead of “Bobby” they’d always call him Piyush (his real name) to make sure republicans realized he of foreign descent.

cuz ya’ll know we knuckle draggin conservatives would never vote for no dang forners….

Hhahaaahhaahahahaha, snort.

Not if McCain gets elected, as there will be no republicans in 2020.

In fact, there probably won’t be any in 2016, either.

Ahhh why hyperbole should be left to grown-ups, it always gets misused.

Any Republican worth his fidelity wouldn’t DREAM of voting for a Democrat. IMO.

Amy Proctor on February 28, 2008 at 8:05 PM

You’re missing his point.

When he says:

I’m very likely to support the Republican nominee. We just want the process to finish.

he’s saying that he’s not jumping on the McCain band wagon. Wait for the process to finish. Huckabee will be the Republican nominee and Jindal will support the Republican nominee. Just don’t ask him to support the “presumptive nominee” right now… he wants the process to finish. Good for him.

Good for him.

Not if McCain gets elected, as there will be no republicans in 2020.

In fact, there probably won’t be any in 2016, either.

If I remember correctly, one has to be thirty-five in order to run for POTUS.

funky chicken on February 28, 2008 at 11:20 PM

I was at Gov. Jindal’s inauguration, voted for him, and have supported him since his first gubernatorial bid. We don’t want him going anywhere anytime soon. He needs at least eight years here in LA before we are willing to let go of him.

I’ve met him a couple of times: he’s the genuine article. Without a doubt.
