Of course it will take some time, you can't turn around that much corruption overnight. He is going to be attacked by those that have entrenched power and you will hear many UNSUBSTANTIATED claims. I believe he can survive if he stands strong(and stays legal) against those in the establishment. I hope and pray he will stand tall through it all and becomes the leader the conservatives are looking for. And Laura, look at his overall record not just the last 5 months.

Jindal is even more incompetent to fill the VP slot than Obama is to be president (if that is possible). The leadership in this country is bought and sold to the highest bidder. Rookies like Jindal and Obama have smaller price tags and not enough experience to do anything but what they are told to do. Jindal removes any doubt that McCain has serious judgement problems.

So far it's a Potemkin governorship. His ethics reform is toothless; his hiring freeze is pretty warm; he's proposing huge expansions in entitlements without proposing any cuts; and he's fighting tooth and nail for his office and his administration to be exempted from records review. It's only been five months - he can still turn this around and be the guy he was when he was in the House, but as of right now, I'm really hoping he's NOT the future of the GOP because it's just more of the same. @misterpeasea –
