This week's NATIONAL REVIEW has an excellent article on Louisiana's governor Bobby Jindal and his performance record. I am not sure if Bobby could be considered a serious Presidential candidate for 2012, but he definitely should get the recognition he deserves. Please check out current article by Jim Geraghty of National Review.

From the Oct. 31, 2011, issue of NR.
Baton Rouge, La. — The Louisiana Democratic party has effectively conceded this year’s gubernatorial race. This does not mean merely that the party could not find a big-name challenger — though they couldn’t — or that they could not even find a token state legislator to be the sacrificial lamb, though they could not do that, either. Technically, four candidates ran as Democrats in the state’s nonpartisan “jungle primary”; the best-known among them was a Haynesville, La., middle-school teacher. No, what really stands out is that the Democratic State Central Committee declined to endorse any of them.
Such is Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s record that almost no one in the Bayou State wants to challenge it. Somehow, his achievements have triggered a complete implosion of Democratic gubernatorial ambitions in a state that has had four Republican governors in 125 years, and that’s including Buddy Roemer, who was elected as a Democrat but switched parties while in office.
continue Bobby Jindal
