I’ve recently been introduced to this 36 year old powerhouse of a Governor named Bobby Jindal, of Louisiana. I found it rather remarkable really that a man so young and Republican to boot (more on that in a minute) could spear head such a revitalization effort the likes of which have rarely been seen. This is not to say that what transpired in New York directly following 9/11 is any less impressive; however the whole of New York wasn’t destroyed; by most accounts 80% of New Orleans and surrounding neighborhoods were.

First and foremost, I’m a Conservative Republican who will probably end up voting for Obama, why? Two reasons; First, he’s a ‘good looking, articulate, glib, young man’ who has turned into an inspirational figure seemingly overnight. Hordes of Americans who otherwise shape their lives around their own self interests are motivated to improve their lot because of this man – in my way of thinking, this is a good thing. Second, with Obama, I know exactly what I’m not getting, experience. Experience in Washington and the know-how on how to get things done. Relationships built on the golf course and allegiances made in back rooms. With Obama, he will brief well but his first 4 years will be rout with ineffectiveness and probably a good deal of blame while learning how to play the game.
