Raising The Profile

GOP taps Bobby Jindal to give response to Obama’s address:

Jindal a former congressman and first term governor, was widely believed to be on then-Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s shortlist for vice president, and often served as a campaign surrogate on the Arizona senator’s behalf.

The 37-year-old son of Indian immigrants was also given a prime-time speaking slot at the GOP convention last September, though he ultimately decided not to attend the four-day event as Hurricane Gustav headed for landfall in his state.

This is good.  The GOP’s needed to pump up its “bench” for over a decade, now. 

And it’ll get the Dems started on their counterstrategy – making “Apu” jokes politically correct.

  1. Some eliments of the Republican party want to through Bobby J under the bus because he is too conservative. That should work well in 2010 and 2012.

  2. Yep. Like getting yourselves a black chairman of the RNC. Mocha is the flavor of the month. But you’re not actually fooling anybody.

  3. The choice of Jindal to give the response to BHO, and Steele as head of the RNC is obviously a move to solidify conservative Catholic support of the GOP.
