Who cares what Steve Schmidt thinks?
There are three names on my list.
Hunter. Palin. Jindal.
Pick two.
Steve Schmidt? The guy who brought us Arnold Schwarzenegger and John McCain? Good reason not to support Jindal.
WAITAMINUTE!!!!!!!!!!! Why listen to losers/whiners/incompetent fools like RNC consultants?
Steve Schmidt needs to be working as an assitant dish washer.
Reagan-Obama
WTF???!!!
Why are Reagan and Obama in the same sentence, much less hyphenated? Last time I checked, Reagan brought down the USSR. What the hell has Obama done? He’s not even in office yet. Good Gosh.

I sure am glad that I have people like Palin and Jindal to look forward to, now we need to push aside the republican hangers on like Romney and Huckabee and that ilk.
let me see...
hmmm...
he’s more palatable to the country club pubies than governor sarah palin
because he has a degree from oxford?
You put Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal on a ticket together, that’s UNSTOPPABLE right there
If the party elites can’t have a RINO standard-bearer in 2012, they’ll settle for a conservative they can manipulate.
Sarah Palin would tell the RNC to shove it if it tried to take over her campaign.
Perhaps they think Bobby Jindal is more pliable.
Poor old Jingle head are whatever, a loser, Schhmutt, crowns you and you also will be a loser.
He is 37 years old! Give him a chance to mature.
Didn’t someone say that Jindal is not a natural born citizen?!! Forgive me for starting this again, but I remember someone discussing this.
Jindal is very smart and he knows policy like nobody’s business but I think that this may be quite an issue for him if on the national scene:

Paul Sperry, author of the new book, Infiltration, in an interview calls Grover Norquist "an agent of influence for Islamists in Washington." When asked by FrontPageMag.com why a Republican anti-tax lobbyist should so passionately promote Islamist causes, Sperry implied that Norquist has converted to Islam: "He's marrying a Muslim, and when I asked Norquist if he himself has converted to Islam, he brushed the question off as too ‘personal.'" As Lawrence Auster comments on this exchange, "Clearly, if Norquist hadn't converted to Islam, or weren't in the process of doing so, he would simply have answered no."Indeed, Norquist married Samah Alrayyes, a Palestinian Muslim, on April 2, 2005, and Islamic law limits a Muslim woman to marrying a man who is Muslim. This is not an abstract dictum but a very serious imperative, with many "honor" killings having resulted from a woman ignoring her family's wishes.
Alrayyes (now known as Samah Norquist) has radical Islamic credentials of her own; she served as communications director at the Islamic Free Market Institute, the Islamist organization Norquist helped found. Now, she is employed as a public affairs officer at the U.S. Agency for International Development – and so it appears that yet another Islamist finds employment in a branch of the U.S. government.
Grover Norquist has for some years now been promoting Islamist organizations, including even the Council on American-Islamic Relations; for example, he spoke at CAIR's conference, "A Better America in a Better World" on October 5, 2004. Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. has researched Norquist's ties to Islamists in his exhaustive, careful, and convincing study, "A Troubling Influence," and concludes that he is enabling "a political influence operation to advance the causes of radical Islamists, and targeted most particularly at the Bush Administration."
But if Grover Norquist is indeed a convert to Islam, it could be that he is not just enabling the Islamist causes but is himself an Islamist.
If Jindal is that good, he won’t let Steve Schmidt anywhere near him or his campaign.
What's going on is that the constitutionally clueless MSM has wrongly glorified the constitutional powers of the Oval Office and Congress as much as it has made Obama bigger than life in the last several years. The fact is that the states have more government power than the feds. This is evidenced by the following constitutional statutes.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.Given that the Founders intended for the federal Constitution to limit (cripple) the powers of the federal government, the 10th A. actually reserves to the states the lion's share difference of government powers. So where issues like health care, retirement benefits, public schools and abortion, as examples, are concerned, given that the federal Constitution is silent about these issues, it is the states who have the power to regulate these issues.10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution (emphasis added), nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
In fact, consider Thomas Jefferson's words about the Founder's division of federal and state government powers.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons, our property, our reputation and religious freedom (emphasis added)." --Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801. ME 10:262 http://tinyurl.com/onx4jSo Governors Palin, Jindal and the other governors actually "own" the constitutional powers that the Oval Office and Congress want to have to regulate these issues and have wrongly stolen from the state governments with the help of corrupt, pro-big federal government majority justices.
Yes, it would have been a mistake to send Sarah to DC, in my opinion. This is because Governors Palin, Jindal, and all the other governors, can begin YESTERDAY to use their greater constitutional powers to restore constitutional limits on federal government powers; no need to wait until 2012 if you know about the Founder's division of federal and state government powers as evidenced by the statutes above.
We have the big federal government mess that we do today because constitutionally clueless FDR politically nuked 10th A. protected state powers in the 1930s so that he could establish his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal Federal spending programs.
The truth of the matter is that Governors Palin and Jindal, having more powers to serve the people than President Palin or President Jindal would, or president-elect Obama will have, need to brush up on the Constitution and its history and then lead the other states to do the following. They need to lead the states to reclaim state powers from the state-power usurping federal gorilla (government) and put this gorilla back into its constitutional cage.
No wonder God kept Governor Palin in Alaska.
Steve Schmidt is a loser, but like a stopped clock, he can be right sometimes.
In the case of Jindal, Schmidt is just looking for a job. He knows Palin would never hire him after his secret slanders against her, so he’s sucking up to the obvious other contender.
If Jindal falls for Schmidt, he will lose.
“No less an aspiring kingmaker than Steve Schmidt, the chief strategist of McCain’s failed presidential bid, .......”
Yeah, a kingmaker.
