Do it, Jindal! Be the McCain veep!
If Ambinder is right, the talk of a McCain VP selection this week is a diversion to try to drum up some positive coverage (because Barack Obama already looks like the President).
ENPR Special: Sources say McCain Veep Pick to Come This Week 07/21/2008 Sources close to Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign are suggesting he will reveal the name of his vice presidential selection this week while Sen. Barack Obama is getting the headlines on his foreign trip.

John McCain will huddle with vice presidential aspirant Bobby Jindal during a trip to New Orleans later this week, sources close to the campaign confirm to The Fix.
McCain's trip to Louisiana on Wednesday was the cause of much head scratching in the political world as it was not in keeping with a week of planned stops in battleground states.
But, the meeting with Jindal, who has been the state's governor since 2007, suggests that McCain himself is deeply engaged in the process of picking his second-in-command and that the youthful Jindal is under serious consideration.

Amazing stuff, and smelling of desperation, because while Jindal might allow John McCain to pick up some votes from brainwashed baby Christianists, I think the rest of the country would have a collective snit fit.
Yaay.
I really, really want to see John McCain pick a low-brow, televangelist pandering, Intelligent Design believing, Young Earth Creationist like Jindal to be his veep.
I personally think that the life, human life and the world we live in wasn't created accidentally. I do think that there's a creator. I'm a Christian. I do think that God played a role in creating not only earth, but mankind. Now, the way that he did it, I'd certainly want my kids to be exposed to the very best science. I don't want them to be-I don't want any facts or theories or explanations to be withheld from them because of political correctness. The way we're going to have smart, intelligent kids is exposing them to the very best science and let them not only decide, but also let them contribute to that body of knowledge.

Baby Face Jindal next to granther (Col. Saul Tigh McCain) would be SO kewl, 'cause you know he'd be itching to take the top spot (I am in charge now!) as soon as John has a major embolism or something.
"Get off my lawn you gods damned Toasters!"
Also, Limbaugh is all for the idea. Limbaugh (The Fat Man), is the same guy who, daily, says that Barack Obama is stupid, that he has no chance of winning, and has also been known to say that Democrats had no hope of picking up enough seats to shake the Republican Majority in Congress.
February 8, 2008, The Fat Man (Limbaugh):
"Bobby Jindal. I did an interview with Bobby Jindal. He is the next Ronald Reagan, if he doesn't change. Bobby Jindal, the new governor of Louisiana is the next Ronald Reagan."

Hey, Rush is right, doncha know? LOL
So, while Senator Obama is off trying to get an early start on fixing the Middle Eastern mess, McCain may be planning on picking a guy for veep that believes (I assume) that Israel will be destroyed in the Last Days, most Jews killed by Forces of Satan, and would be just fine with that, thanks very much, if it means that Jesus would be back for coffee and Jack Daniels at 11 with all the god-fearin' Republican leadership.
I know who I'm not voting for...
