If Governor Jindal does manage to win the Republican Nomination in 2012, I would expect that he would go with somebody along the lines of Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana or Senator John Thune of South Dakota as his running mate.
Whilst I could imagine that such a Republican ticket in 2012 would excite the conservative base, it wouldn't excite anyone else. Thus, I find that if such a ticket were to be nominated in 2012, Barack Obama might as well keep the keys for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
that's exactly what i'm thinking. it's not jindal's time yet
