Figured y'all should see this.

'"From the insiders I’m talking to, Jindal’s in the top three, right next to Palin and Romney. He’s the rock star of the Republican Party right now,” says Jeff Crouere, the former executive director of the Louisiana GOP and host of daily political talk show Ringside Politics.'

1. Jeff Crouere must not have a tv... or

a brain:)

2. This must have been written before the star flamed out last night.

3. That's really good news

Maybe him and LIEberman could hookup!

4. A Republican's idea of what constitutes rock stars

is typically people like Pat Boone or The Carpenters. So, yeah, Jindal is a rock star.

5. Jeff Crouere's smart as a whip.

7. I did NOT need to see that.

6. "Rock Star" is a big tent...

8. Obama should beat any one of those 3.

9. I think he will run, and lose, in four years. Palin is too strident, and Romney is too Mormon and

smarmy. Jindal is more pliable, like silly putty. He's an easier sale--of course, they'll have to work real hard on that speech delivery, that was painful to watch. But then, Romney, the dog abuser, is like a Ken doll and Palin...well, you betcha!

Of course, Jindal will lose in four years. But he'll be "The Man" along with Steele heading into 2016...see where the GOP is going? As part of their rebuilding process, they are going to try real hard to be "down with the brown."

I admire their sheer nerve, if not their logic. It's kind of hard to be truly "down with the brown" when your policies screw large numbers of brown people, as well as economically challenged people of every hue. But mark my words--their long term strategy is to try to pick apart and undo the "southern strategy" and regain their "rock rib" reputation that has been so tattered over the last several decades.
