Which is good for the Democrats, because Jindal is very Obama-like – meteoric rise.
Jindal is a wise man – he is looking at the polls and thinks, “I’m not getting on that ship.” He’s got chances in the future and very well might run for President someday. But he’s got plenty of time – and plenty of time during which he’ll still be young.
It is also good news for Obama, because Jindal is an appealing figure to many in the Republican party and to the religious element.
I think that Jindal’s religious views will hinder his chances for national office. He combines conservative Roman Catholicism with Creationism — an odd combination that really narrows his appeal and lowers his chances of appealing to a broad electorate.
