You cannot win elections by going after only one group of people, which is essentially what Jindal said. And the need to stop dividing people. Another good point.
But I hope the Republican party ignores him and David Frum. Because that is damn good for Dems. If Republicans keep living in their hateful little fantasy world then Democrats will keep being elected into office.

Jindal has been in the spotlight lately, and taking aim at his party, no less. WH run in 2016 anyone?

He is my governor and I can't stand him. He sold out our teachers with his 'education reform' and will be among the red state governors who will annoounce tomorrow that the state won't implement the ACA. This guy is a total dick.

I wonder if some of his rethug colleagues are urging him to run for president in 2016. He's a minority and he's got the appeal of a slug. May be just the guy for the job.

I don't see how "sane" Republics can wrest control of the GOP and change their image in 4 years. If anything, they're going to go more to the right and that is going to turn off even more voters. People are starting to see just how extreme the GOP is becoming.

I think they'd be better off running a Rubio than a Jindal... but I suspect it'll be another white guy.

not to be superficial but wonder if he can overcome his general goofiness.

after Cat-2 Isaac slammed Louisiana. Instead, he acted pissy and got no ride on Marine One. Gov. Christie gave Jindal a tutorial on how to use a presidential visit. Jindal is a B-grade pol and never will rise above it.
