I think it's a bit early for to float LA Governor Bobby Jindal's name for the Veep shortlist- though he would be eminently better than Mitt Romney. But he certainly presents a fresh image for the GOP.

Admittedly, I know very little about the man. But Gov. Jindal's appearance this week on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno shows that the LA Governor has much of the raw talent and charisma necessary to one be a future player in the Republican Party.

As the Nation's youngest Governor and the first Indian-American elected to the Statehouse (ever), Gov. Jindal has a unique opportunity to make a significant, positive impact in the Bayou State. It's not every day that a politician gets serious about restoring honor to the home state of Earl K. Long. For this reason alone, Gov. Jindal is a person to watch. How he fares at the conclusion of his term will be the clear benchmark for future success. Rightly so.
