Two weeks ago the Associate Press ran a story about
Republican standouts being considered as possible candidates for
president. Guess whose name was not even mentioned? Bobby Jindal.
Last week, a poll was taken among prominent Republicans
asking them to choose individuals whom they felt would make a good presidential
candidate. Bobby could muster only 2% in his camp.
I guess since Bobby figured no one outside Louisiana
really considers him a plausible candidate, he’d set up his own club, known as
a Political Action Committee (PAC). The name of his club is Stand Up to
Washington and, although Bobby claims its purpose is to help fund conservative
candidates in their run for Congress, the real purpose is for self-
promotion. The PAC will give Bobby the opportunity to mingle with
well-moneyed people, make powerful new friends, and perhaps convince them
that he’s not the vindictive, elitist, self-centered , spoiled child,
‘shoot from the hip’, kind of guy that he appears to be.
However, I suspect that deep down inside, Jindal realizes
that he doesn’t even have a remote chance of landing the Republican
presidential nomination. But I bet what Bobby is really shooting for is
the vice president nomination. His ego would never let him admit that
publicly, so let’s stay tuned and see what happens.
