I do like Bobby Jindal. We’ll have to see what the future holds. It would be nice to have a REAL Catholic President.

Yes, me too. I'm all ready to start working on his campaign.:)

In another part of the book, Bobby explains how he was on a flight (small 6-seater, single-engine propeller plane that was borrowed) with a few campaign workers when he was running for governor (2007), and the plane ran into some significant trouble. One of the workers, Melissa, was very concerned, even planning out her funeral in her mind, so Bobby handed her [she was not a Catholic] a rosary from his pocket [I'd love to have a president who carries a rosary in his pocket!!]. She held on tight, and then went into the fetal position. They landed safely. And as Bobby tells it from there:
Our campaign team was comprised of me and a group of Protestants. There were a few other stray Catholics ... but not many. Before the crew back at headquarters learned of our ordeal, I fired off an email from my Blackberry that simply read, "Fyi, Melissa is now Catholic." This set off a lot of confusion back at HQ. --Bobby Jindal, Leadership and Crisis
