Iowa political insiders say Gov. Bobby Jindal will soon give up on his presidential bid, Politico reports.
"He's become desperate," an Iowa Republican told the website. "He's taken to attacking Trump (we know how that worked out for Perry and Walker) and has nothing going on here in Iowa."
Another insider said Jindal had too much competition on "the hard inside right lane." In the last year in Louisiana, the governor has taken a strict conservative stance on taxes and education.
The race to replace Jindal as governor goes to the polls Oct. 24.

Does he even gov LA really? Bet there is some internal voices within the RNC asking the crazies to get out as they are mucking up the GOP message. Truth is it is not the crazy speakers RNC its your message!

(10,500 posts)5. That's actually why I am surprised that he may drop out. Pataki and Gilmore decided to run knowing
full well that they didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning. They just wanted to have the experience and get the publicity. In which case, I figured that they were far more likely to last until New Hampshire than Rand Paul or Scott Walker, people who were actually trying to win the nomination.
