Fox Focus Group: Governor Jindal “Performed Exemplarily,” “Sounded Fabulous,” And “Believed In The Individual”. Frank Luntz: “Compare Obama with this great scenario with Bobby Jindal with no audience behind him. How well did the governor of Louisiana perform?” Focus Group Respondent: “I thought Jindal performed exemplarily. I thought that his calmness, perhaps lulled people into a Mister Rogers-like effect, but in point-of-fact he was trying to be comprehensible to a large American audience that may not know him.” Luntz: “What's your reaction to the governor?” Focus Group Respondent: “I think Governor Jindal sounded fabulous. He did not provide quite enough statistics, but I certainly think all of his comments and his patriotism was the overriding thing of what he had to say.” Focus Group Respondent: “He was upbeat and he believed in the individual American as opposed to the government doing everything for us.” (Fox News’ Coverage, 2/24/09 Michelle Malkin: “I’ll take Bobby Jindal’s genuine faith in American entrepreneurship over Barack Obama’s fear-mongering-turned-faux Reaganism any day.” (Michelle Malkin, “Bobby Jindal and the expectations game; plus: which MSNBC host said ‘Oh, god?,’” Accessed 2/24/09) Kathryn Jean Lopez, National Review: “And forces the point that politics should be about ideas — competing ideas — and that the best ones should win.” (Kathryn Jean Lopez, “Jindal,” NRO’s The Corner, 2/24/09)
John Fritz, USA Today: “ called on his party to return to core values and object to massive government spending intended to boost the economy.” (John Fritz, “Jindal calls on GOP to return to its roots,” USA Today, 2/25/09)
The Boston Globe: “In recent days, as congressional Republicans have complained that their fiscal views were ignored by Democratic leaders in drafting the $787 billion stimulus package, Jindal has become a national conservative hero for announcing that his state would refuse some of its money from the bill.” (Sasha Issenberg, “Governor Jindal: Restore GOP ideals,” The Boston Globe, 2/25/09)
Robin Abcarian, Los Angeles Times: “ does a pretty good job complimenting the president’s achievements while taking issue with his positions.” (Robin Abcarian, “We know the GOP messed up, says Jindal. We'll make it up to you,” Los Angles Times’ Top of the Ticket, 2/24/09)
Perry Bacon, Washington Post: “Jindal defended the virtues of small government that he said even his own party had abandoned in recent years.” (Perry Bacon, “In GOP Response, Jindal Blasts Stimulus,” Washington Post, 2/25/09)
Kenneth Millstone, CBS: “Jindal seemed to harkening back to the vital, small-government party of Ronald Reagan, or at least Newt Gingrich, rather than the one that suffered major losses in the last two elections.” (Kenneth Millstone, “With A Dash Of GOP Contrition, Jindal Stresses Small Government,” CBS’S Political Hotsheet, 2/24/09)
Michael Gerson, Washington Post: “In recent days, Jindal has displayed another leadership quality: ideological balance. He is highly critical of the economic theory of the stimulus package and turned down $98 million in temporary unemployment assistance to his state -- benefits that would have mandated increased business taxes in Louisiana. But unlike some Republican governors who engaged in broad anti-government grandstanding, Jindal accepted transportation funding and other resources from the stimulus -- displaying a program-by-program discrimination that will serve him well in public office. Jindal manages to hold to principle while seeing the angles. While Clintonian in manner, knowledge and political sophistication, Jindal is not ideologically malleable.” (Michael Gerson, “The Jindal Phenomenon,” Washington Post, 2/25/09)
