Why, because he's a minority?

He has less experience than Obama.

Think. Don't pander to minority voters. That's what got people thinking about Rice for so many years.

My thinking too! He needs to choose someone who is at least more conservative than he is, that shouldn't be too hard but it damn sure isn't Romney.

Well, I don't think that most "minority voters" in the U.S. will scream, "OMG! We finally have a change to have an ethnic Punjabi as Vice President!!!"

Jindal does have some pretty strong conservative positions. The "minority" that is being "pandered" to is the conservative base.

On February 8, 2008, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh mentioned on his syndicated show that Jindal could be a possible choice for the Republican vice presidential nomination in 2008. He said that Jindal might be perceived as an asset to McCain's campaign because he has support in the conservative base of the Republican Party and his youth offsets McCain's maturity.

And, no, Obama has less experience that Jindal does. Obama has spent his political career as a "community organizer", a State Legislator and as a "no-show" in the U.S. Senate.

Jindal is actually a Governor and a single day in that position gives him more executive experience than Obama.

But, let's face it, the kid (no ethnic slur intended) was 9 years old when Reagan was elected.

Our pet turtle is older than he is.
