MY BUDDY BOBBY JINDAL KEEPS REPUBLICAN HOPES "HIGH"

This is an interesting post by Ed Morrissey. The whole post is good, but I will just throw a few quotes from it at you.

The next Republican rock star

Quotes:

Bobby Jindal has begun his tenure as Louisiana governor with a splash. After just a few weeks on the job, he has forced the Democrat-controlled state legislature into a massive rehaul of its ethics rules and regulations, attempting to clean up one of the most corrupt governments in the US.

And:

At 36, Jindal became one of the youngest governors in American history. He has his work cut out for him in Louisiana, but if he can succeed in transforming the swamp that has been state politics into even passably ethical, he could write his own ticket. The danger for Jindal is that the swamp has usually defeated reformists, either by cutting short careers as interest and support dwindle or by co-opting them into the swamp.

At least with the latter, Jindal appears to have wisdom to avoid that. Jindal wants a shot at the brass ring, the opportunity to become the first Indian-American president. And he knows that the GOP is looking for heroes. The ranks of Republican governors has thinned, and opportunities will abound for a young crusader cleaning up the muck of politics as usual.

I'm telling y'all, keep a sharp eye on the boy.
