When U.S. President Barack Obama made his not-quite State Of The Union address to Congress last month, he outlined what he wanted to spend in the upcoming fiscal year. As is custom, the Republican Party had a chance to respond, and that job fell to Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, who mocked government spending for, amongst other things, a volcano monitoring service.
Well, there's a Republican state having issues with a volcano. If Jindal was president, they would have little other option but to throw a virgin down the volcano, which eliminates this person ...

Pretty much 12 hours after Obama's easy win over McCain, I predicted Bobby Jindal's ascension to de facto GOP leader.

The problem with Jindal is that he's a bleak, austere, Nixonian rightwinger, without Nixon's semi-everyman semi-charm.
Between non-establishment Repubs, I think 2012 will be between Jindal, Sarah Palin and that wealthy Mormon Massachusettes guy. I don't think anyone of them will come close to knocking off Obama in 2012.
I think Jeb Bush will realize that and hold off till 2016 to buy the nomination. Unless he fears age... Jeb, if alive, will be 63 in 2016; if he REALLY wants it sooner, he may run in 2012 with Jindal as his running mate, in which he will lose in a very tight, scorched-earth-type-of race. (Bush would take Florida but lose the northern swing states.) UNLESS the unthinkable happens and some racist bastard shoots Obama.
If Bush and Jindal go head to head for the nomination in 2016, same result: Bush as establishment will win and BJ his running mate.
Who knows who the Dem would be in 2016. As for Jindal's stupid comments in 2009, totally moot. Repubs are allowed to make stupid comments. There is neither the journalistic firepower to follow these things up anymore not the will on behalf of anybody :(
