Did Anyone Notice The Report That Bobby Jindal Will Be Visiting Iowa Later This Month?

[THUNDER HANDS]

I think it was mentioned on some broadcast late last night.

The 2012 race is on folks.

[MadBadger]

1. Does anybody really think a dark-skinned man has a chance in the REPUBICAN party?

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. I do

I think if it came down to Huckabee, Romney, Jindal and Palin - Palin and Huckabee would split their votes, and Romney and Jindal would be battling it out, and the GOP would figure that the only way to win against what would be a popular incumbant Obama would be the run an exciting minority southern conservative with executive experience.

If Obama was looking like he was cruising to victory no matter what, I think they'd toss Jindal out there to make themselves look more inclusive, if nothing else.

2. Jindal Huckabee Romney and Palin?

Which other clowns are getting into that car?

[AndreaCG]

3. WTF, they can't wait till AFTER the inauguration???

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

23. It really is quite ridiculous...

[Bucky]

4. Are you sure he's running? Maybe he just went there for the exorcise

(Yes, I checked my spelling)

[mnhtnbb]

5. Oh, criminy. Can't we just enjoy the moment without talking about 2012?

[totodeinhere]

11. I second that. n/t

[anneboleyn]

6. I think he will be the top choice of the GOP in 2012 or 2016, not Palin

because he is an intelligent guy who can actually perform well in interviews and attracted people from across the aisle to vote for him (unlike Palin...). But there won't be anyone who can beat incumbent president Obama in 2012.

7. When your party is in this bad of shape, the earlier you start the better

I consider the next two years, before we gear up, to be the Republicans attempt to avoid an '84 type embarrassment.

[jgraz]

8. Is someone possessed by the DEVIL there?

[CANDO]

10. He's Gush Limpjaw's boy wonder.

I can see him pushing a Jindal/Palin ticket already for 2012. I don't listen to the ignorant fuck, my brother is a wing-nut and feeds me this info.

[TheKentuckian]

12. Its past time to kneecap Jindal

We need to take down their up and comers before they can get started and force them into incoherence.

[galaxy21]

14. In 2012...an African American versus an American Indian?

Watch the bigots heads explode!


Eh, personally I think it'll be Pawlenty in 2012. Jindal and Romney will have trouble winning over the base, but do well with moderates and Palin will win over the base, but no one else. Pawlenty is the only one that seems like he could appeal to both sets of people.

[Hawkeye-X]

15. First, take a look at Louisiana.

How is it doing post-Katrina and post-Blanco?

[Bad Thoughts]

20. Jindal responded well to Gustav, but ...

I suspect that some environmental policies (or lack thereof) may not play well upriver from Louisiana.

[iceman66]

19. We need to find a STRONG challenger when he comes up for re-election!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

22. kneecap being rhetorical, right?

[LynneSin]

13. There is a nutjob that makes Sarah Palin look sane

I would suspect he might have trouble with keeping his governor job ESPECIALLY if someone like Mitch Landrieu (Mary's brother) runs against him.

[galaxy21]

16. He's a former exorcist

in which case the Biden's might want to hire him to cleanse the new vp mansion.

[PatGund]

17. Yeppers

Some of the rightwing sites are jacking themselves raw thinking of a Palin/Jindal ticket

[camera obscura]

18. The Republican elites love her, which just shows they're out of touch with their own audience

I can imagine the army of Dittoheads coming up with some obscure reason to vote for the white, third party candidate.

[Clio the Leo]

21. Give that man a cabinet position!!!

Neutralize him!!

Neutralize him!!!

[Perky]

24. And so will Huckabee
