Bobby’s own pure motives and convictions will be twisted against him. Unfortunately the left will do all possible to make this stick. Unless Obambi has come completely unglued and ruined his parties chances, the media will be waiting

just like Mccain – get the canidate they want, then skewer

Bobby VS Sarah in 2012 primary, It will get fun to watch.

I’ve said it once… I’ll say it again. Run a Lamb in 2012. If Obama does even reasonably well.. or simply doesn’t screw up horribly we will loose again in 2012. So we send in a lamb to be slaughtered. Focus our attentions on the House and Senate until 2016. Then we run Jindal / Palin. Jindal has more Presidential qualities than Palin. But Palin is sharp and can focus her attention on certain issues as a VP. (Plus I would LOVE to see her sit as President of the Senate — if the dems still control it).

Jindal/Palin ‘16

Hey Boss, how is that convention coming along?

But

You are correct. I also believe that many Louisianians had suspicions about Blanco, which were sorely and irrevocably confirmed during Katrina. She never was able to outlive her own incompetence.

It is interesting to see that the people of LA knew exactly where to place the blame after that happened – especially with the national MSM too eager to blame GWB for all of that.

Let it mature.

nah Sarah and Bobby will be on a ticket together in the future. Who knows who will be on the top of the ticket but I would not be surprised at all if they run together.

They’d be a great team. Just flip a coin to see who is the Pres and VP and then unite under the same banner and off to victory.

1. My understanding is that Jindal first converted to Christianity as a fundamentalist while in high school.
2. Jindal graduated from Baton Rouge Magnet High School, a public school and said to be one of the most liberal in the city, yet he finds conservative values, very conservative values to live by.
3. Jindal MADE command decisions in the field immediately after Katrina. He did more for St. Bernard Parish than its congressman during the days after Katrina. He coordinated getting supplies and help to a forgotten area.
4. Though he lost to Blanco (I call her Blank Zero) the first go at the governor’s manison in large part due to his skin color in some parts of the state, he refused to take this as the reason. He spent a lot of time letting those voters get to know him and carried those parts of the state overwelmingly last year.
5. His ground game for the governor’s race was superb. He had tons of college students campaigning door to door for him across the state a year before the election. He coasted to victory during the last couple of months protecting a very wide lead.
6. Jindal cold called the governor to get the spot of head of DHH. He wowed everyone who made any attempt to interview him during that day he showed up at the governor’s office.
7. Jindal has the innate ability to read a briefing in seconds and get immediately down to what the problem is and what type of solution may best fit the situation. He then can articulate the course of action so that anyone can understand.
8. Jindal may lack that innate ability to directly connect with voters the way that Palin can.
9. Jindal appeals to the youth in a way that Obama can only dream of.

Forget the MSM. I stopped reading Little Green Footballs because Charles Johnson declared one night that Jindal was “pro-exorcism.” It was so unbelievably knee-jerk and below the belt…his hatred for creationists has made him as loony as many of those on the left, blinding him to the positives of someone like Jindal. Its truly pathetic. And this is all based on very limited evidence that Jindal even supports creationism.

Unfortunately Charles is typical of too many knee jerk atheists. He lumps ID and young earth creationism together and tends to accept any criticism of ID on just about any front as gospel.

The “intelligent design” thing is going to kill him with the non-ideological middle. The MSM will use it as a cudgel, and frankly, its hard to defend allowing dressed-up creationism to be taught in science classes as if it were a legitimate avenue of scientific thought.

Cicero43 on December 1, 2008 at 5:41 PM

Absolutely! God forbid we follow where investigation and observation lead if we don’t like the implications!

Intelligent Design is a theory, based on statistical probability and logical reasoning. Statistical analysis of protein combinations that are required to create reproducing cells… is simply a statistical impossibility to occur randomly. Logical reasoning through proposed evolutionary steps in certain designs reveal serious flaws, since many steps must occur simultaneously. But ultimately, Intelligent Design relies on pattern matching… for us to see the inherent order that can only come from something designed to work together.

Living creatures are more complex than any series of machines that humans have ever created. Complex combinations of molecules form specific proteins that fit together in certain combinations. Each cell is more complex than any factory. More knowledge than contained within the entire Library of Congress is packaged into DNA in a specific data format that is replicated, and distributed to each cell. Factory processes unzip these strands, duplicate and rezip in perfect harmony. Replacement parts are produced off the knowledge library and transported where needed. And all of this has to work the first time, or the cell/system/animal is dead…

And yet we are told this was random. Like combining sand, plastic and metal in a box and shaking until we get a dual core CPU computer with storage systems, with data formats and a software operating system to boot into a usable system.

Yeah. Let’s discuss and compare theories. Shall we?

That’s right… we’re fools for wanting that… to be made fun of and put down. We’re the ones with the closed minds.

Jeeze I hate that slogan. Its such a dumb thing to say.
It is meant to be a set bar to clear for a candidate. But its such a bar that Reagan himself wouldnt be able to clear!
Which says loads about how lazy we conservatives have become.

Let Reagan be Reagan and let Jindal and Palin be Jindal and Palin.

Handel – 2012!
(or at the very least ‘mr August’. woot!)

I’ve seen Jindal up close, and he is very impressive. Extremely intelligent and articulate with an impressive resume. His main downside is his lack of charisma. For instance, you will never see people requsting Jindal to autograph their body parts:

In any event, his off-year 2011 relection campaign for governor makes it virtually impossible to run in 2012. I do think he will run in 2016 (provided a GOP loss in 2012) or in 2020 (after Palin’s second term). He will still be young by then.

So why does Obamedia like Jindal ?

I don’t know, but I am leery of anybody the Media likes. John McCain was a media darling…..see where that got us.

So why does Obamedia like Jindal ?

macncheez on December 1, 2008 at 6:34 PM

They don’t, they just have a visceral hate and fear of Palin and they want us to turn on each other over the two of them. If you were able to read this weekends carnage you know what I mean.

What they have a chance at is picking up house and senate seats in 10, 12, 14 and then perhaps the presidency in 2016. Those are the historical odds.

However with this being the repub party it is possible they won’t even pick up house and senate seats because, as the last six years have shown, they are clueless. Where’s my pork? I want more! Balance the budget? F’k the budget! Government? It’s not big enough!

Good luck dreaming about victories that don’t exist. Trust me I do the same. I’ve been hoping since Reagan that spending and the growth of government would be corralled. How stupid have I been?!

The future looks pretty bright from my seat.

You are so right. Things do look good for the young of the GOP. If you look on the stage at this years DNC primary debates it was terrible. It was all old Clintonistas & crazy libs. There was no future on the stage except for the new guy, Obama.

Whenver I think of Pelosi,Reid,Clinton,Richardson & Gravel, the future looks brighter & Brighter.

So why does Obamedia like Jindal ?

I’m wondering how long it’s going take this to turn into a Bobby vs. Sarah thread.

We should take bets. Where do you want to start the odds?

I’m with ddrintn, I like most of the candidates mentioned for 2012 (and for 2016). At this point, I really like the idea of Palin and Jindal together, but all that could change based on future actions, events, etc. The future looks pretty bright from my seat.
