"Jindal may skip the GOP convention."

I hope he is smart enough to stay away from kkkkk bird nest.
they are going to use him to do dirty job then destroy his political career.
Like what they do to Powel and code-Rice.
It is only morons allow thems self to be used. Because blind loyalty is equal to evil.
come to think about it Bush was not qualify to be president going by the standard and ranks.
But no one gave Powel a chance,
So watch your steps because you next !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes we can- change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Obama4 ever

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF EVERY AMERICAN. DO YOU WANT FOUR MORE YEARS LIKE THE LAST EIGHT?

Chad,

Jindal is a sitting governor. He is not the VP nominee, nor does it appear that he will be.

Obama is the one without experience. Experience counts in the repubican party, apparently not the case for the dems.

They can all skip the Republican Convention for all I care!!!

That's what I call dedication, Nobama has to settle for his wife, Hillary, and Hillbillie because he can't get anyone else, where McCain may have to resort to others because they have more pressing issues at hand. See the differance Nobama supporters.

Quite a few "big" Republicans are not going to the convention this year. Even Norm Coleman said he wouldn't be going if it weren't being held in his home state.

"LETS TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY NOW!
VIVA OBAMA"

Wow, great, just what we need "viva", that makes me want to cling to my guns and religion.

You know the GOP is in trouble, when they are bragging about receiving a "celebrity endorsment" from Wilford Brimley.....SAD.

Who is Wilfor Brimley you ask....My point exactly.

If the hurricane were to hit Dem convention, the Pubs would have called it a wrath of God and a sign. I wonder if they can see it as Gods wrath on the neo-con Pubs.

See people what true republicans do when the times get hard they run and hide or have someone else fight their wars for them. No surprise here for me.

Vote Democrat and get real results.

maybe he needs to do a rain dance or an exorcism

Now why is it important that "Daddy Yankee" supports McCain? How funny is this and who in the hell is he? Besides being from Puerto Rico and cheated on his wife...(wait now I get the comparison)...lol...This endorsement means nothing for the white voters, just more reasons to raise concern over his immigration policies.
**John McCain – The right one that's wrong for AMERICA.**

If Gov. Jindal can make a difference for the hard-hit residents of Lousiana, more power to him! Maybe he can put in an appearance at the Republican convention by satellite or cable? Taking care of his state is certainly more important than scoring political points.

HE WANT MISS ANYTHING....
UNLESS HE MISSES BILL OR HILLS. SPEECH....
THE REST HAS BEEN UGH...
MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND NOT EVEN LISTENING TO WHAT IS GOING ON ON THE STAGE.........
THERE WERE A LOT OF HILL SUPPORTERS THERE LAST NIGHT. THEY DID NOT CLAP FOR MICHELLE AND KEPT ON TALKING TO EASCH OTHER.......

"Jindal? August 26th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Isn't this the religious freak that thinks the world is flat? Oh PLEASE McLame, pick Apu for us."

And Obama supporters have the nerve to scream 'racism'? What a bunch of hypocrites.

So Obama says he will unite the country but his backers jump all over a man who is trying to do his job....why should i feel Obama is any different from his supporters. No wonder Hillary supports would rather cross party lines and vote for McCain...what hateful bitter supports Obama has in his corner

This Guy should be President! At least he has intelligence and is a Governor. Sen. Obama the most liberal senator in history ignored 18 Million voters when he chose Biden as veep. Yeah, that's right 18 Million voters! Sen. Clinton has experience and voted for the war, just like Biden, but she got votes. How many delegates did Biden get in the Primaries? ZERO.

It is obvious Obama lacks the experience and judgment to pick a running mate. I mean how smart do you have to be to choose from one who received 18 millions of votes to another getting a few hundred?

Obama has caused disunity. We need to vote Clinton at the convention! It is not too late! I will support McCain if she is not on the ticket. Oh guess what, she is not on the ticket.

Too bad, this is. Great guy, he is.

The GOP is still one exclusive party at its very core – NOT exclusive in a good way. These people need to transport to the 21st century.

If anyone believes that Obama and his new blowhard sidekick are really going to change anything, they are in for a rude awakening. Like all politicians, its all about power and ego. Hey guys, I have a great building lot for sale (cheap) in New Orleans. Any takers?

Hummmm.....maybe with a Rethug Governor, Louisianna will get a little more HELP this time around. Ya Think?

Love the headliners on Monday for the GOP convention..Bush and Cheney..More proof that McCain will be more of the same..

And f there are any real Hillary supporters who will be voting McCain this November, say bye bye to Roe v Wade, and hello Draft.

Remember Katrina Jingal. Bush didn't care. I hope you do. if not, your career is over.

This is actually not "Mother Nature gets even" as you may think. The RNC put the convention on stand-by. Yes, money will be lost- like that's a problem for a Republican. The party says McCain is their man in a short, but unified demonstration. Shows more unified support for any area pre-strike and eventually struck by the hurricane with aid. Lets Jindal prove he's a true leader. Points finger at Dems saying they needed their convention cause their party is in shambles and disaray. Enjoy.

They pray for it to rain on the DNC Convention and what happens? God sends the storms to every state that a republican governs. He even dropped a little water on FOX TV. Ha ha ha.
Obama08

As a Democrat, hats off to Gov. Jindal for making the right call. Don't sell out.

There goes the GOP– watrch out you old white haired men–LOL

Here's the thing, folks. Those of you calling to unite the party need to understand it's Obama's role to do so. The Clintons can only do so much. If he's a great leader, he'll prevail. Some simple things...

1. Stop bashing the Clintons. We've endured this for months (its been on both sides) and you will not make any friends by continuing this. He was the most popular president in modern history and I personally remember Bill keeping his word on many issues. We also prospered and we haven't had that for a long time. Like him or not, his legacy deserves some respect. Respect others.

2. Obama needs to put Hillary in an important position in his administration. Does he owe her anything? No. Does he need to acknowledge that more of the core democratic party felt Hillary was a better choice? Yes. So far, he has done little to try to convince us he's ready. It's his job to convince me – I've already heard from Hillary. By acknowledging Hillary in a key position many of the PUMAs will calm down as they feel they have been heard. Does he want to be elected or not? Most important goal should be to win, above everything else.

3. Obama needs to convince us he has sound judgement. I don't know about you, but having a friend for 20 years that is like an uncle and not knowing he was a preacher of hate? How many times has he been quoted "He's not the man I knew" and for how many people? The presidency is a big job. I need to know our president is a good judge of character. He's got a lot of work here yet.

4. He deeply criticized Hillary for her vote on the Iraq war...but ironically Biden cast the same vote as Hillary. Now I feel he thinks this is OK now because Americans are more worried about the economy than the war? I'm not sure if this is smart or an example of poor judgment. He needs to explain himself here. This isn't something Hillary can do for him...he has to earn my vote.

I was just reading thje previous thread on "The Clintons Prepare". Comments are closed ,but there is something that needs to be said. A writer identifying himself as "John in Ohio" talked about voting for Sen Obama in Columbus, Ohio. That did not happen. This is obviously a bogus post and its very existance calls into question the validity of all "drum beating" posts, whichever side of any given issue they support. These blogs were a good media in the early days, but they have lost all significance due to the large population of bulk posters with an agenda.

Lacy, what a crock. Ted Kennedy? Joe Biden? John Kerry? ALL politics is rich white men. Grow up for God's sake! The Empty Suit is just window dressing.

IF OBAMA cannot get elected, don't even think Gindal would. Wake up people if they are now calling OBAMA a muslim, what won't they call Jindal, regardless if he is a Republican. Jindal is been used by the GOP like everyone else who was used also!

My prayers are for Louisiana and coastal states to get thru this season without a hurricane. Governor Jindal would make a great VP. He has more experience than the selected one Obama.

Why is it CNN spent the last 25 minutes playing and talking about various McCain propaganda commercials only to follow it up with Glenn Beck nocking on Barack and Hillary some more? They're doing McCains dirty work themselves. I really think it's becoming clearer and clearer that the people in control of the media of this country want nothing more then to keep us moving in a downward spiral. I resent the way they've been giving these republican pundits free reign to make any accusation they like without calling them out on the facts. Republicans are willing to spout pure poison just to see their cronies keeping control of our countries really disturbing to watch.
LETS TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY NOW!
VIVA OBAMA

He was never on McCain's short list. McCain would lose some of his base because Bobby Jindal is a person of color. Also, he was a Muslim and you know how that is played in the media. Also he stated that Huricane Ketrina did not damage the oil platforms off the coast. He was dead wrong. It was the worst spill ever. He should have read up before he got the job.

The majority of white america will not be able to overcome there racism during this election.

They would rather suffer another republican administratioin than elect someone who does not look like them, no matter how good Obama is it will never be enough. Sad but true.

Is Piyush afraid to use his given name?

I would be loathe to belong to a party that could not accept who I am.

I would like to know why Obama says he is a BLACK man when he is half white and most Musllim. HE SAYS HE TELLS THE TRUTH–WELL LET"S HEAR THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS HERITAGE.

Isn't this the religious freak that thinks the world is flat? Oh PLEASE McLame, pick Apu for us.

what a shame, they would have ran him out of the place any way.

Jindal sold his soul to the Devil the day he decided to be a sorry Republican.... Even McSame the POW when needed doesn't want him as a VP.

Do any of you PUMA's remember John McCain's joke about Chelsea? How can you people support this "POW" turned presidential candidate? In the real world he would be made to apologize for disrespecting someone's daughter. But you guys will vote for him to make sure Obama doesn't succeed. What a wonderful thought process by you idiots.

Hope all goes well for the people in New Orleans because they have been through a whole lot – a lot of which could have been avoided if the Bush Administration had done what they were supposed to do.

Jindal looking for any excuse to not join the old white men. BORING!

Jindal you won't be missing much!!!!!

All those ACTIVE democrats will wake up after election night to listen to another incompetent and senile man keep the status quo in the White House and this nation. Perhaps even turn BACK the clock on minority and women's rights. So, let them go ahead and vote for McCain.

People should NOT forget that Obama had more than 18 million votes– that is why he won fair and square; so, if he loses this election, no democrat (not even Hillary or Chelsea) will be president of the U.S. for the next 8 years; plain and simple!!!!

when Katrina touched down John McCain was celebrating his birthday in front of Air Force One with his BFF George W...there is a really nice picture of them together...i think McCain should use it on his face book page...Jindal seems like a good guy, on the wrong team...

I thought the call was for evangelicals to pray that it rains heavily at Denver to disrupt Obama's nomination speech, how come the
Republican, Jindal will be getting the wrath from mother nature.

The favor seems to be for the DEMS, so far Denver has been dry!

They will use any excuse not to come to the Republican Convention.

I would, too.

Jindal is willing to make personal sacrifices for his state. Obama vacations in Hawaii and expects Hillary to unite the party. And texts out some generic sound bite over the Russian invasion of Georgia. Other than that what has Obama done?

Jindal alone has more experience and quick judgment to handle a crisis better than Obama. Obama's slow reaction to Russian's invasion of Georgia should be a preview of the inept president Obama would be.

Is Jindal a former POW ? That is the burning question ...

Hopefully you'll miss it! McCain is an old hasbeen, who supports war,loves saber rattling', threats ! Nice guy ! Old fuddy duddy !!! Surely, you can do better , join the Democrats ! Have a decent , caring outlook ! The only way he can win an election is to smear his opponent ! Who the hell wants someone in the White house that is so childish and petty ? Is he going to start calling Putin names now ? Great way to have good relations with the rest of the world ! I am part of the Rest OF THE WORLD and i'm telling you, McCain is dangerous!!!!!!

GUESS HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO EITHER. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING WHEN ALL THE REPUBLICANS ARE BACKING OUT

i guess the guy who was praying for to rain on the convention should have been more specific...John McCain is responsible for the deaths of 134 men aboard the USS Forestall 7/29/67 ? NOW he wants us to vote for him? he is not only out of touch, he is dangerous

Is this a big surprise? I hope not since a governor should be focusing on his state. Then again, many people are staying away because there are so many problems with McCain and his policies that he took from George W(oman) Bush.

Perhaps God is sending us a reminder as to why we cannot afford four more years of Bush.

Reading all the text of so call Hillary supporters life long democrats (AKA actually RNC supporter) voting for McCain. If you are, that’s fine keeping it in yourself. We all are sick of reading the same thing over and over. They fought a tough fight and one lost. Get over and get a life and move on.

If the GOP brand were a stock right now,

I would SELL! SELL! SELL!

What has he done? Does this guy deserve to be 1 heartbeat away from the presidency? Gosh no!

Jindal is the GOP's attempt to diversify their line up of old rich white men... If he can't make it, whatever will they do?

How come CNN lets lib-bots post the most vile hatrid one could...., well only a liberal democrat would be able to type but censors any and all facts about who Obama really is?

Sorry CNN, the facts about what Michelle Obama has said and wrote are the truth, Obama's close and personal relationship with people like Wright are not lies. Why censor the truth?

How is it that Bobby Jindal is only in his mid to late thirties and he is ALREADY an exponentially better Presidential candidate than BHO??? Barack should be embarrased about this fact!! Jindal is a STUD and will be the President in '08 and'12!!!!

finally, a govenor who's taking his present office seriously instead of using it as a stepping stone for a higher office! God bless you, Gov. Jindal and the state of Luisiana.

Wy couldn't we have had someone like Jindal running for prez. instead of NO Experience Obama?

Any excuse not to go!!

GOOD!

At least he didn't say he'd be busy washing his hair.

Aren't Republicans being hypocritical when they say that Jindal should be McCain's VP?

First they criticize Barack for being "inexperienced"; although he has served in the Senate for almost 12 years at the state and national levels (yes far more experienced then Billary or Jindal)....He is also about 10 years the Senior of Jindal.

I'd hardly call being Governor of a state (Louisiana) that ranks near the bottom of everything-a great Resume to run for Prez.

CNN Where is your news about McCain leading Obama by 2 points in the most recent Gallop polling?

Jindal is a good man. He knows where he is needed. If he is needed at home, he should stay at home.

God getting even with the GOP?

That's pretty funny, considering California has had one of the worst seasons for wildfires... and an earthquake... Only weeks after legalizing homosexual marriage. Seems to me that there are shadows of Sodom and Gammorah in ol' blue Cali.

This also coming from people that are okay with killing babies.

Yes, God is really for Obama, isn't he?

Do not be fooled Hillary supporters. Obama camp is telling people all over the net that it is fine if you want Hillary write her in. They are discouraging you from voting for McCain. If you want to send a message to Obama and the DNC voting for McCain is the only way. PUMA. Country before party.

Wasn't someone praying or planning to pray so that rain would fall on DNC? I vaguely remember something like that. Anyways I wish the best to the folks in Florida. Hopefully the counties affected are not majority African American counties. If so Jindal will show up at RNC otherwise he will stay there.

Hey – did anyone see Biden crying?? Poor guy must have seen the latest polls......

a Republican will stand tall and charge head first unlike those democrats in LA who cried on national TV because they were to dumb to get out of their own way..

Reps are grooming this guy because they want a brownie or someone with color next to all the white folks.

Biden also 'took himself out of the running for VP', Jindal would make a terrific running mate for McCain. Wise up McCain, and all you Democrats.

I pray and hope our state does not have any Hurricane problems.
But Jindal and other GOP must be mind dead if they tell us they sincerely support the negative ads day after day.There is no more substance in their message. All we see is negative ads and playing the devil. Well i guess McCain can chase himself to the ates of hell too.

They have made the greatest mistake of our lifetime ans we have lost treasure and blood in iraq. This is why RUSSIA and IRAN is disrespecting us because they know we are streched out.And now u want us to vote for McCain? NO WAY!

OBAMA 08!

BETTER FOR US, I MEAN THE REPUBLICANS, WE HAVE SEEN HIM B.S.ING SIMILAR TO JOHN McCAIN. IT IS PREFERABLE THAT JINDAL STAYS HOME RATHER THAN EMBARRASING US.

...and this is newsworthy because??? I couldn't possibly care any less.

The Rethugs are scare to death of Dems, that's why many of them come to the blogosphere pretending to be "Clintonistas" in order to hijack this election, because they wholeheartedly know they can't win on issues. I have to admit they're clever, though, but I hope the American people whom are fed up with the GOP tactics after 8 years of failed policies won't fall for this crap.

I bet Gov. Jindal will do a far better job of handling any disaster than his predecessor did. Who knows, they might even use the school buses for evacuation this time!!

who?

I find it quite despicable for people to blame Katrina on republican karma. Natural disasters happen everywhere, they are never funny, destroy alot of lives, and should never be used for political gain or loss.

Wow, I wish George Bush showed the same concern during Hurricane Katrina. And this guy isn't even President.

McCain will balme the potential hurricane on the fact he was a POW

Who cares about Jindal,,,this is not a good news

Did you notice Obamas gaffe? When he was on sceen he first said he was in Kansas City and then a few moments later he says he is in St. Louis. If it was McCain it would be reported by the MSM.

If people are complaining about how MO read from the prompter. Wait until you see McCain read, its so obvious, its actually dull. You'll be snoozing before you know it because its so boring when McCain looks straight into the camera with his eyes glued to the prompter.

No one wants to go down with McShame

The people in that State should be casting a vote for Obama because there State is close to where Katrina hit and we all seen how the repuke's feel about people in that part of the country. Obama has already talk of a plan that would put policies in place that will prevent another response or lack thereof from the government. It's time to wake up people and get this thing right. Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.

Jindal is the best VP candidate of both parties.

People like Ann Romero (probably a fake name) are Republican plants. Here is why America should worry about panamanian McCain:

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (unresolved).

People this fraud, McCain, is dangerous, very dangerous for America!

Hey, with all the Operation Chaos and Puma people the Republican Convention should be full. LMAO

He hasn't made a good movie since Signs.

Jindal SHOULD be asked to be V.P! He would be great!

Ann Romero I don't care who you vote for. You are not a true democrat if you once supported Hillary and are turning coat and voting for McWar "just because".

Crawl back into your looney hole.

He is got good execues not to go to the losers convention. Way to go Jindal.

I feel bad for going after Hillary on this blog but the media and the PUMA's are non stop against Barack Obama. Clinton could really bring us together tonight. I look forward to watching her go after McCain. I think Hillary should be in full attack mode and let the McLame and the Republican's have it on the chin! When Obama wins I hope she leaves the senate and head something like health care or something like that or bigger. Message to Hillary: Bring us together, we really do have more in common than not! I STILL LOVE THE CLINTON'S. GO GET 'EM DEMS. VOTE FOR OBAMA 08 AND 2012.

To PUMAS,

screw this up and we'll show you how two can cross that line too.

PICK YOUR POISON

McCain's first visit to New Orleans following Katrina: 969 days.
Stay home Bobby and shelter your political future.

Are the Republicans positioning Jindal for 2012, the same way Obama was positioned in 2004?

** BREAKING NEWS….MCCAINE TAKES FIRST LEAD IN GALLUP TRACKING POLL **

mCCAINE 46% OBAMA 44%

AND TO EVERYONE WHO IS GOING TO WRITE "I'M 18 AND I ONLY HAVE A CELL PHONE…THEY DON'T CALL CELL PHONES"

IF YOU EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN…YOU SHOULD READ THE POO METHODOLOGY SECTION OF ANY POLL WHICH STATES IF THEY CALL CELL PHONES…..AND GUESS WHAT….GALLUP DOES!!!!

BYE BYE OBAMA

Don't feel bad "Bobby" you're not the only one to miss the republican convention. I 'm sure if the Republican party needs their token person of color they can satellite feed you in.

August 26th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

I am voting for John McCain since Hillary Clinton is not the democratic elective for President. I will never vote for OBAMA.
Anne Romero,

Why don't sign up for the war. It is hyporcritical to vote for McCain and not enlist for the war. A vote for McCain is a vote for more war. So enlist. better yet enlist your husband and your children if they are of age.

hey there will be no pumas inthis article there have already been three puma idot so far

oh well

"I am voting for John McCain since Hillary Clinton is not the democratic elective for President. I will never vote for OBAMA."

Oh who CARES ANYMORE?!?!?!? You and the other PUMA Hags can

KICK ROCKS!

See this is the guy I wanted as V.P. because of things like this- he was the only Republican to actually do anything about Katrina and got no credit.

Joe Biden will eat Jindel for brunch. He better stay in Louisiana where he is going to be needed. Here's some strategy Republicans. If Jindel can be the first on the scene if and when Hurricane Gustov hits, he may be seen as a hero.........NOT!!!

Obama/Biden 08/12

Be careful what you pray for.

McCNN why are you not asking all those familiar questions about McCain that last week you were so obsessed with when concentrating on Obama. Why can't McCain close the deal?..What can McCain do to gain more support from Hispanics?...What can McCain do to improve his standing with women...Who does McCain need to pick to help him with all of Huckabees supporters. Why is McCain struggleing getting over 45% in most polls...etcetera, etcetera ,etcetera...............................

If McCain elects Jindal as his VP,we'de rather see him staying with his State during a crisis. It will be perfectly acceptable to see Jindal accept the nomination ,in a raincoat in LA.

That would be an interesting situation if McCain does tap Jindal, but due to the storm Jindal would not be able to address the convention nor do any significant campaigning if New Orleans were to have a repeat flood as it did in 2005. I cannot think of any "modern" Presidential election where the VP did not address the Convention nor campaigned. (NOTE: I do not think Jindal will be the VP nominee.)

Rising star in the Republican Party. Give me a break. There are no stars in teh republican party, just liars, crooks, theives, etc.

I'd love for the pics of Bush at the Olympics to come out, the Steven's issue, and a lot of other things to be brought up at the convention.

I certainly hope that quite a few service men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the spouses of those who were killed or wounded, get an opportunity to speak and bash Bush/Cheney!

I bet his silly Mayor down in New Orleans–will be there to shuck and jive though.

With all of his connections in the Republican party, couldn't he just get someone else to act as caretaker for the state, lest the hurricane arrive? What is Brownie doing nowadays?

I don't agree with this guy often as he is a conservative republican and I am not, however I have to say he has the right idea staying in his state with a hurricane coming. That shows leadership to me.

Oh don't blame the hurricane, he doesn't want to attend that boring convention...hahahahahahaha

What's left in Louisiana hasn't been prepared so what's all this political posturing with Jindal.

He's doing the right move, safety and security first. This is a politician who is responsible unlike Obama who never held one oversight meeting on Afganhistan because he's to busy running for president.!

Guess what CNN? Jindal took himself out of consideration for McCain's VP a few months ago. Maybe you need to do your research.

What a horrible reminder of Hurrican Katrina during the Republican convention!

I hope this hurricane doesn't cause much damage.

I'm sure he's a decent guy and everything, but that picture...yikes.

Good idea!

Obama wannabe

Yah, he gets stuck with straightening out what the prior democratic govenor and mayor did.

This time Lousiana will be ready.

The strength of the Democratic Party is their enduendos. The unibombers of spin stories. They spend all day talking about things that might happen, could happen, not yet but almost sure. Give it a couple of months, Our Journalist say the signs are there.

I never heard of this man. So he doesn't make the convention, who cares.

Well, I guess that rules him out as V.P. or he'd be here now!

I am starting to like this guy Jindal more and more each day.

Do you think he would consider becoming a Democrat?

Although I am a Democrat, I cannot help but admire this man. He has achieved so much at such an young age. If he ever runs for office, I might be inclined to vote for him. I wish Obama had such a strong resume, I would have felt much better in supporting an young president.

McCain is an old idiot that will further ruin this country. You know the stuff that has happened over the past eight years does not bother me. It doesn't bother me because I never voted for Bush so it's not my fault. The people who are to blame for the shape of the country are the ones who kept the republicans in power.

Jindal is a Great Governor and he is good human
He will do the best for his state
Life long democrat and strong Hillary supporter voting for Mc Cain

Good call Governor Jinda.

This guy will lead the resurgence of the 'real' republican party in the next decade. If he can clean house in louisiana, he can do it anywhere.

the republican are going to loose this year

Hopefully people will pay attention to the warnings this time...

This looks like it could be a pretty intense one...

I toially agree with everything rupupican but god bless him and his state

Oh! A hurricane is a real good excuse to miss the Repug convention. All the other GOP members say that they have tight races to win and they can't make the convention. A natural disaster is way better excuse. So, who IS showing up to the Repug party? Oh that's right Bush Cheyney Romney....and who cares.

I am voting for John McCain since Hillary Clinton is not the democratic elective for President. I will never vote for OBAMA.

This hurricane is turning into a monster. I pray that everyone in its path will be protected. I detect nervousness on the part of players in the oil industry. Look for prices to start going up soon folks, and don't forget to check for tire pressure. Every little bit helps.

oh another republican skipping their convection

Baby Jindal gets his first test. Lets see what happens. Is he ready????

The Repubublican party needs more people like Jindal....maybe then they can get back on track

Where are the issues? Why aren't we discussing that instead of who did or didn't win or get the respect they felt they deserved? We are so off message and caught up in these catfights which at the end of the day have not done one thing to make this country better! Our economy is on the rocks, gas prices are through the roof, AND to make matters worse, these petty distractions are giving the Republicans a cakewalk into the White House! We had better think about what is important!

The Repubs are grooming Jindal big time. Only difference I see between him and Obama is experience. Oh wait, that no longer counts for anything in this country.

Jindal '12 & '16

With Jindal gone, looks like the RNC is going to be a old-white-male fest.

Mother Nature getting even with the GOP

Maybe it's God's wrath... (to use Hagee and Parsley terms) because he's tired of the lies Jindal's been telling so often on TV lately.

George W. Bush teaches by leading.

Jindal seems to have enough "experience" to make the right choice, even though he may never experienced a hurricane as LA Gov. I wonder how he was able to do that.

there wont be people coing to the rnc looks like its already ruined
