Should McCain have picked Jindal? Yes.
Bridget Johnson, at the mainly right wing Pajamas Media, muses that Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana, would have been a better VP pick for McCain:
But I’ve rarely seen a leader so pulled together in the face of crisis as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. And on the eve of Gustav, as Jindal delivered some of the most comprehensive and detailed press briefings around (with information subsequently printed and easily accessible for all on the governor’s Web site), I wondered if, after all was said and done, it would become clear that Jindal should have been No. 2 on the GOP ticket.
That is exactly what I thought during Gustav. From afar, Jindal’s management of Gustav reminded me of how Obama has run his McCain - efficient with a minimum of fluff or fuss. When McCain had a choice of young, ground-breaking evangelical Governors, he clearly picked the wrong one.
The best part of Johnson’s post is the delusional comments by readers:
“If Jindal had been picked VP he wouldn’t have been able to show what he could do. Palin has already proven she can take on tough challenges and win. Palin/Jindal 2012 is a good prospect.”
“The Democrats and their supporters, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, and National Public Radio, have gone completely nucking futs over this, because they know very well that Sarah Palin is better qualified for the presidency than Barak Obama, much less the vice presidency.”
“Why is this question being asked?”
“One of the best proof that Gov. Palin is exactly the right choice is the left-wing media onslaught against her. The is no higher recommendation for a conservative candidate. Every attack is another medal in the battle of ideas. She is now a decorated soldier. She is our Audie Murphy.”
