With Bobby Jindal so adamant about not being John McCain’s veep, any excitement that he potentially represented to the Republican ticket is now lost.
Love him or hate him, the Louisiana governor represented political viagra for McCain.
But I guess Jindal feels he’s too new as governor to leave now.
Either that, or he doesn’t really think John McCain can win.
Besides, who wants to be saddled with a loss in such a nascent career? Jindal can wait it all out and develop some real experience as governor. He also avoids an unnecessary confrontation with Obama now as veep.
If Jindal plays his cards right and gives a glowing speech at the GOP convention this year, by waiting, he may well wind up exactly where he wants to be: in line to be the first viable Asian American presidential candidate in U.S. political history.
