JINDAL GETS POSITIVE MENTION IN WASH POST ARTICLE!
The Washington Post was handicapping the governors as potential leaders in the GOP. One was our favorite Governor (McDonnell is not inaugurated yet!) Bobby Jindal.
Here is the Post’s analysis on Jindal:
If Barbour and Daniels form the ranks of old pros, there are young pros rising within the ranks. The youngest is Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who has been on a fast track all his adult life. He had a terrible introduction to the nation this year when he was picked to give the GOP response to Obama’s first speech as president to a joint session of Congress.
But appearances can be deceiving. Jindal has a considerable intellect and a command of many of the policy issues that will be front and center in the next few years, including health care and energy. Whether he can prove himself on a national stage still isn’t known, but he could give Republicans fresh ideas and a platform from which to test them.
Although the Speech was mentioned (Boo!), it was admitted that Gov. Jindal is smart and has some experience/training in hot-button political issues such as health care and energy. I think Jindal’s personal energy and accomplishments in Louisiana will help him.
Another pro-Jindal item is his “fast-track” resume. This is the main reason I am fascinated with Governor Jindal. Remember that list of potential 2012 GOP Presidential candidates several months ago? the one with the best resume (state cabinet official, university system president, federal sub-cabinet, Congress and governor) is the youngest one: Bobby Jindal.
