But if McCain chooses Jindal as his VP? Much speculation about this seeing as how Jindal not only counters the Obama youth/ethnicity card but more importantly, as far as the fundamentalist wing of the party is concerned, because he's an evolution denying, ten commandments thumping, liberals equal moral decay bewailing social conservative. If McCain chooses him I will definitely be in a pickle.

On the other hand if lots of momentum builds for Jindal and McCain ignores it that would be a promising sign. Plus, on practical side, seems counter intuitive for McCain, who needs to attract independents, to go with an arch social conservative, especially one who effectively undermines his attack on Obama as being too young and inexperienced for the chief executive role. [which makes one wonder if a lot of the rattle re Jindal as VP isn't being made by liberals who reason it would be a misstep on McCain's part. After all, NY Times was my main source on this story]
