My buddy Bobby Jindal just keeps getting more and more notice from the national press, and pundits.
The American Spectator had a post by Quin Hillyer. You can read the entire post here
But some relevant quotes:
"Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will convene his state Legislature for a special session this Sunday devoted entirely to ethics reforms. If he succeeds in his battle against corruption, he will have launched a term in office that as soon as four years from now could unite a conservative movement, and a Republican Party, that now is more fractured than at any time in the past three-plus decades. Jindal has the potential, without a doubt, to be the Barack Obama of the right -- just as inspirational, and far more substantive.
Jindal himself is famously brilliant. He's also the rare technocrat who boasts "people skills" almost as well developed as his policy analyses. And his work ethic is legendary. If anybody can figure out how to overcome all of the challenges ahead, without letting success go to his head or that of his administration of whiz kids, it's Jindal.
The good news in Louisiana is that public sentiment in Bobby Jindal's favor gives him far more than a fighting chance. And if he wins this first fight, and then starts winning in broader public policy fights...well, the nation as a whole could always use another breath of fresh air."
The current mayhem in the Republican Party has left a void that someone like Bobby is perfectly suited to fill. I've asked y'all before, and I'll ask you again to pray for the boy...he's got a big old weight on his little bitty shoulders!
