I agree with RIJ, I've yet to see a viable candidate emerge....

If I remember correctly, and that's a big if, Jindal rejected provisions for a big chunk of stimulus money. The money he accepted was for schools and jobs, and was used for those things.
Again, I don't think he's the ideal candidate, but I think he'd have a better chance than some of the other choices. And remember, a lot of people didn't think Obama was a viable candidate back in 2008.
As for "taking the evil you know over the evil you don't know", I'd take a chance that anyone else could only be an improvement.
