"The latest possible Republican vice presidential prospect pushed by
Washington-based conservative activists is newly elected Louisiana Gov.
Bobby Jindal, fresh from a triumphant six-day special session of the
state legislature," according to Robert Novak. "In Baton Rouge, Jindal won approval of several tax
cuts and funding for transportation, hurricane protection and higher
education. He was elected last October in a landslide."
"Jindal, the son of immigrants from India and a Catholic convert, is
at 36 the nation's youngest governor. He has been praised by
conservative activists, including Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist.
The major argument against him for vice president is that he should not
be taken from Louisiana so soon after assuming office."
