Is Jindal overrated?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes. The guy is just another far right politician (most right wing Governor in America most likely) who goes ahead and gives the state legislature a double in their pay that they resist, yet supposedly he's some sort of political powerhouse on account of that he has a tan.

No, Americans are stupid the man is a minority and charasmatic on top of being far from the center.  Hell its worked well for Obama, only Jindal also has experience and a deeper base.

How is being a minority such a huge plus for Jindal? It certainly wasn't in 2003...(or 2007 for that matter but that race wasn't even competitive so it was moot.)

Example:

La Salle Parish (Home of the Jena 6)

Bush 2004 - 80.39%
Jindal 2003 - 39.19%
Jindal 2007 - 55.86%

No, he hasn't tried to run for President yet now has he?

Give him until 2012 or 2016 and then we'll see if he's overrated.

What has he done as Governor that's so impressive he deserves all this talk? Sign a pay increase for state legislators?

Its a plus nationwide, in the Deep South it is not.  He would probably lose a few southern states (he is a minority Catholic) against someone like Mark Warner.

Where does it help him? The only state with a significant Indian population is California, which he doesn't stand a chance at winning anyway.
