I don't judge him on that. I think voters will.

You have to remember that when he made that speech, Obama was going to save the country with the stimulus package. In hindsight, Jindal proved to be right about it being a waste. He also said that more government intervention was going to be bad for the country, which has been the case so far.

I'm not saying Jindal is a great Presidential candidate right now, but he looks pretty good when compared to some of the others. His approval rating in his home state is excellent, and the skeletons in his closet are much more easily explained than some of the other Republicans'.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
