WaPo: Jindal asked not to be vetted for “less-than-stellar” McCain campaign

Jindal was approached by McCain forces to gauge his interest in the vice presidency and told them he was not interested in being vetted due to his desire to continue on with his current job, to which he was elected just one year ago.
While the official reason that Jindal took his name out of contention was his lack of a desire to leave the Louisiana governorship, there was also real trepidation within his political inner circle that Jindal might wind up as the pick — McCain was attracted to his comprehensive health-care knowledge — and be caught up in what they believed to be a less-than-stellar campaign that could pin a loss on Jindal without much ability to change or control the direction of the contest…
The end result — intentional or not — is that Jindal, should he run in 2012, will be free of any taint of President George W. Bush or McCain.
Ruffini wrote a smart post back in July about the perils of being a losing VP, which I think would have held true this time for everyone except Palin. She’s so remote geographically — and politically, aside from the energy issue — that being on the ticket was her only way onto the national media’s radar. (A Senate run would have forced her to challenge a Republican incumbent.) That said, I think she’s right about this and that it’ll be a problem for her going forward, at least vis-a-vis Obama. The One’s chief rhetorical asset on the stump was that his is a new way of doing things, whether that’s true or not; Palin, by virtue of having been on the ticket this year, will by definition be spun as something retrograde in 2012, especially in light of what I said over the weekend about the economy and national security trumping culture war as key issues. Huck will be the candidate of blue-collar economic populism; Jindal will be the candidate of health care reform and, per his hurricane prep in Louisiana, emergency preparedness; Palin will be the candidate of … pro-life? Not enough to win a national election, especially if The One’s first term goes reasonably well, but on the upside she has plenty of time to develop her credentials in other areas.
Exit question: Is Mitt seriously not running? Seriously?

He WILL be president one day. Such an impressive guy.
ousoonerfan15 on November 10, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Jindal was smart and he knows that McCain is not a true conservative. He didn’t want to be a sacrificial lamb when McCain’s candidacy went into the toilet.
Palin was her own force and maybe, Jindal/Palin ‘12 sounds better.
Obama will fail. No doubt about it.
HornetSting on November 10, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Enough with the Huckabee nonsense … dude is a talk show host now
as for Palin, as I have stated many times … she is not your typical VP Candidate … Joe Biden fits that template
She doesn’t fall into the category of “losing vp candidates with no future”
joey24007 on November 10, 2008 at 4:06 PM
I can 100$ guarantee that won’t happen, economically. Foreign policy wise, it could surprise us all, but economically America is finished unless we get Ron Paul in somehow.
lodge on November 10, 2008 at 4:07 PM
I respect his political savvy – even if he did put it like that.

I agree Obama will fail, whether it gets reported or not…?
BobH on November 10, 2008 at 4:08 PM
I like Jindal … it looks like he made the right choice … 20/20 vision and all that
plus he has the advantage of being a governor of a pretty well known state that likes to stay in the news
very smart and capable star in the GOP
joey24007 on November 10, 2008 at 4:08 PM

canopfor on November 10, 2008 at 4:08 PM
he’s only 37, he has plenty of time to build the resume and then run.
Jindal is a POTUS possibility for the next 30 Years, or next 7 POTUS elections. He just needs to time it right, although being a Catholic may hurt him and idiots like Charles Johnson won’t support him.
jp on November 10, 2008 at 4:08 PM
well if Mitt doesnt run, its Palin’s nomination to lose. If she decides to run of course.
ousoonerfan15 on November 10, 2008 at 4:09 PM
I’m not sure that Jindal will be president one day, but I am sure that he should be president one day.
The left is really good at destroying minority candidates of the conservative variety.

This is why I love this man!
He is a true conservative and knows he can kick Obambi’s ass in four years. Fixing Louisiana should give him the White House automatically.
Anyway, he is quickly and efficiently fixing the state and is by far more experienced than the Jimmy Carter clone we have to suffer through for four years.
Jindal will be our nominee and here is to hoping Palin will be the VP once again, but for a winning ticket.
jencab on November 10, 2008 at 4:11 PM

problem for Palin is people literally lose their minds over the mention of her and she can’t talk about her actual record to get the story out there.
I think most voters had no clue about her record in Alaska and especially Energy Inpdendence
jp on November 10, 2008 at 4:13 PM
Why am I hearing so much “She does a great job in Alaska, let her stay there” these days? Is doing great at one’s job now somehow a disqualification for higher office?

Also, that guy Russell (sorry, I didn’t get a lot of sleep this weekend) who ran against Murtha. He totally deserves another shot.

I think you are right…as they have done that…but we need to mature technologically and intellectually. I think it is all a matter of collective perception. Look, we have an unfair advantage: the truth. They have the media. But is it TRUE? They have the money, but does that mean it is TRUE? Until he outlaws EVERYTHING, we still have the same freedoms everyone else is. We must be unapologetic and unafraid. We must harness the Ron Paul libertarian energy (which, btw, is what we actually should be for) and get a revolution started with the “youth” and inspire suspicion of the media, which (trust me) is RIPE for the picking…we can do this without the “left” destruction. We have to play fire with fire. They have to play dirty because they are LIARS. We can fight clean and hard with the truth…and we will WIN.
Mommypundit on November 10, 2008 at 4:15 PM
He has cleaned up Louisiana brilliantly since he got into office last year. He handled hurricane Gustav very well. Two HUGE accomplishments, especially down there in Louisiana.
ousoonerfan15 on November 10, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Allah, you should have stopped half-way through. The thread was supposed to be about Jindal’s refusal to take part in 2008 – for whatever reason. You’ve led us all down the path of who will run in 2012. We can’t help ourselves so you must help us!

If we could combine Jindal and Palin into one candidate, we’d be in good shape. Jindal really needs Palin charisma and Palin could use a bit of Jindal’s policy wonkiness.

So, if Palin was smart to take the vp job because it gave her national recognition and Jindal was smart to turn it down because it was a fools errand, can’t we then argue that Romney, Huckabee and Pawlenty are idiots for having wanted the job?

Mr_Magoo on November 10, 2008 at 4:18 PM
Come on, that is hardly all she stood for but it is hardly an issue that will go away under an Obama administration. Energy was her area and if we get electricity rates through the roof while she gave her constituents $3000 a year from the Alaska Trust, she might be looking good to a whole lot of Americans. Jindal is a good man but if Obama Claus gives everyone Senate health care plans, how strong will that be as an issue?

Jindal’s instincts were right on there…which is why we’ll not likely see Palin again once the hangover of this election passes…my prediction and I’m sticking to it.

Palin-Jindal 2012
Firebird on November 10, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Palin’s a long shot for President anyway. Even if Obama is a disaster, I can’t see her getting the nomination. In fact, if Obama becomes another Carter, the last thing the country will want is to take another risk on the most important job in the country. And fair or not, a young female governor of a tiny state(population-wise) will be regarded as a huge gamble.
Jindal will also be regarded as a risk since he’s a young, minority governor of a relatively small state. But I give him better odds than Palin. He’d be a great VP pick though if the GOP can come up with someone “safer” to run at the top of the ticket.
As much as I’d love to see a Jindal/Palin 2012 ticket(the “reform” ticket), think of how that’ll play to moderates and voters who lean to the left.
Doughboy on November 10, 2008 at 4:21 PM
I live in MS and close enough to LA to know what goes on over there. Jindal is a seasoned vet when it comes down to dirty campaigns. They slimed this man like you cannot believe when he ran the first time, and he worked hard, came back and smacked down the Dems. The first go round he would not fight back as hard, but the second time he learned you have to level both barrels and fire!
He has dealt with many different issues that most have not. Between natural disasters and basically recreating a state government out of severe corruption; he has been a strong force to be reckoned with and he has driven the Dems nuts! He has been dealing with foreign countries in order to grow the business in LA and to strengthen their economy. He has been very familiar with his National Guard to say the least! And knows a lot about national issues and how they impact the states.
The one point I like about him is that he is a tad better in stating the issues and giving you an answers, or how to solve the problems. I firmly believe that Palin was restricted by McCain, and her handlers, so I think we need to give her a chance to freely express herself.
However, those that despise the Base and social Conservatives loathe, hate and despise Jindal like you cannot imagine. They are already trying to destroy him, and of course we are seeing what they are doing to Palin. But I know he can handle it, and will not be moved from who he is and what he believes in. He is no dummy and those against him would do well to tread lightly!

Youngs98 on November 10, 2008 at 4:23 PM
great post … I was just thinking the same thing … Jindal is good but he comes off as a college professor … he knows his stuff but just can’t hold an audience and get people excited
Palin is the kind of leader who, like Reagan, believe in great ideas and allows others to tackle the details. Reagan knew the details BUT he also knew that micromanaging everything is counterproductive to the goals … Jindal, from what I have heard, is the type that micromanages
joey24007 on November 10, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Saturday morning radio addresses, live from outside the gates of the White House. That should freak out Obambi.
fogw on November 10, 2008 at 4:24 PM
Four years from now is a pretty long time. I agree that Jindal made a good decision to avoid the McCain trainwreck, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he should run in 2012. It will all depend on what Obama screws up and what happens in the 2010 race. Anyone with serious national ambition would have been wise to reject a McCain VP offer. Though Palin may survive this, being such a wildcard pick and all.

I know there is bad blood between Pauliacs and R Iraq war hawks, but, it is KEY to success. republicans need to return to their libertarian roots…we are for LIBERTY, with a conservative bent.

Oink on November 10, 2008 at 4:28 PM
When drilling for oil becomes an issue with the Dems, the GOP shuld have Palin host a tour of that Godforsaken desolate bog know as ANWR and have it be a prime-time special.
Take along a few GOP Congressmen. Jonah Goldberg’s article on his visit is a classic, especially the part about the rabid foxes.
Palin would make a good secretary of energy in a Jindal administration. Then she could move onto the national stage again. Jindal would do better in 2012 with someone with foreign polcy experience (to contrast with the buffoon), or someone from the upper midwest.
Palin is still young. And it’s slightly heartening to know we have some good GOP govenors on the farm team.

That’s it – He’s smart.
AubieJon on November 10, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Well, for prior Federal executive experience, he was one of the better Asst. Secretaries for Planning and Evaluation HHS ever had. The ASPE is in charge of program evaluation at HHS — all the evidence-based stuff, for example. Finding out what works and what doesn’t. Even my flaming liberal public health colleagues adored him in that job.
He was widely praised for handling the recent hurricane in LA (no Katrina, but still a good display of enhanced planning and performance), and he’s got a pretty high approval rating. The pay raise thing tripped him up at first but he straightforwardly apologized for the mistake and ultimately did the right thing.
DrSteve on November 10, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Correct. He will never be POTUS, but I want him as RNC Chair.
Remember how everything changed after 9/11? Well, EVERYTHING changed for the GOP after 11.4.08.
I am most interested in new leadership for the party, and for the House and Senate (minority leaders obviously). Is it too much to hope for to have both the House and Senate back by 2010? How about we cut their lead in half by 2010 and finish them off in 2012 by taking both houses and the WH back in 2012? The proper people must be in place as of January 2009 in order for it to happen.
Oink on November 10, 2008 at 4:32 PM
This sounds good to me. I’m in favor of Gingrich for president.
Sign of the Dollar on November 10, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Newt Gingrich should not be head of the party. He is too closely associated with scandal and perceived as being the architect of failed policies (even though he was not and the policies were not entire failures). He certainly can provide advice, but he should step aside to allow a younger generation of leaders to take the healm.
jagdpanther on November 10, 2008 at 4:33 PM
I strongly disagree with the idea that social conservativism has been trumped. McCain was never a true social conservative, and his pick of Sarah only made him palatable. He avoided the abortion, stem cell, and gay marriage issues throughout the campaign, and I believe it cost him. Many social conservatives sat this one out because they couldn’t bring themselves to support McCain, Palin or no Palin. In past elections, I worked hard as a volunteer – phone banking, planting signs, helping at rallies. This year, once Romney was out of the running, I was done. I sat back, watched, and swallowed hard when I voted for McCain. Many others could not take that last step. If the Republican party abandons social conservatism further, it will be the death of the party. No one buys anymore that GOP is fiscally conservative, not after the debacle of the last 8 years. It will take a long time to get that credibility back. Campaigning against earmarks doesn’t cut it. Social conservatism is the only thing that substantively separates us from the Dems. McCain was Dem-light, and that is why we lost.

the Paultard is selling Fools Gold just like Obama and the Socialist. Its every bit as utopian and unrealstic. the “His way or the highway approach” is idiotic, what he claimed to be for was/is politically impossible.
He’s also a Rothbardian influenced Nut Job, for which the GOP should avoid like the Plague unless we need to spend the time to discredit all of Paul’s Lies. He is the Far-Left Marxist view on America and history, just like his idol Murray Rothbard. This is what casual observers are missing. Ron Paul is not some innoncent, idealistic libertarians. He represents a specific brand of libertarianism that is dangerous, much of it dishonest.
possibly the only candidate our enemies would have preferred we made POTUS over Obama.
jp on November 10, 2008 at 4:35 PM
I still can’t believe that I spent so much time following the election and didn’t realize how BAD McCain’s campaign was. Now that it’s over, it’s so obvious. I wish I had known–I’d like my contributions back.
Dee2008 on November 10, 2008 at 4:36 PM
Each politician should be there where he or she can do the most good. Palin does good in Alaska, both for her state and (in the matter of energy) the rest of the country. But she would not by any means be the best person to have in the White House. She’s a lovely, decent woman and smarter than her detractors will admit, though hardly as savvy as her boosters would like to think, and I hate the thought of her going up against, say, Putin. There are better, more solid people for the top job. (”Romney, Come Back!”)
But, isn’t this a bit early anyway? Shouldn’t we be thinking first about 2010?

Fred is great, but he couldn’t get fired up during his “run”, and Sarah rocks, but she has Maverick doody stuck to her shoe. Jindal’s record of reform predates his Governorship, and he will be well seasoned by 2012. Steele is phenomenal, and Ehrlich has a big “I told you so” constituency in MD plus his talk show.

At this point in time, I agree. But I believe with time she’ll be up to the task. The seeds of toughness are surely there, or she would never have succeeded in battling corruption, or re-renegotiating the pipeline deal. I say let her get a bit more seasoned and then see what you think.

I’ve said this on other threads, but Sarah doesn’t HAVE to run for office. She could be appointed an Energy Czar(ess) or Homeland Security Chief. There are plenty of places she could help America. She’s a hard worker and seems to enjoy the governor type of work.
