It's been suggested by some media outlets that romney is considering Jindal as a possible VP pick.
The simple answer to that is yes he should, if he wants to commit political suicide. If jindal is picked, all the Dems would have to do is expose Jindal's real first name--Piyush--to the American public, and voila, Romney is history.
GOP voters are mostly bigots and won't stand for anyone they suspect doesn't meet the definition of what they consider an "American"--and that's someone who is either White or Black with a boring American-sounding surname like John or Mitt. Jindal's ethnicity, however, is Indian--his parents are immigrants from India, and Jindal's real name is Piyush.
The only reason Jindal won the Governorship of LA is because they were duped into thinking Jindal's actual real first name is Bobby and that he's a White man with dark skin, because that's what Rush Limbaugh told them.
However, Rush is not a God (despite what many GOPers believe), and while he may be able to dupe the conservative voters in one state into believing something false, he won't manage to do that for the whole country. When it comes out that Jindal's first name is Piyush and that the reason for his dark skin is due to his Indian ethnicity, GOPers everywehre will jump up and down and scream "raghead."
Why don't I buy this line of reasoning? Consider Obama's middle name..... Hussein. Americans elected him. If you assume that Republicans won't stand behind him, then you are taking the view that Republicans are racists for granted without thinking.
