[StBernard] Jindal for Veep?

[Westley Annis]

I understand that leaving a position before term could upset some; I think
his popularity makes that so.  His constituents could be upset because they
supported him in that position, they want him in that position and don't
want someone else in that position.

However I believe the majority of his district will be supportive in his
campaign for Governor because he is the best candidate in the field.  He
will be forgiven for leaving mid-term because he will be perceived as the
one to be in the Gov position.

That's my 2 cents...hey Jim, we keep putting pennies in the pot and I hear a
booray game comin on :>)

	Cindy,
	What is negative or unreasonable is to run for one elected office
(Governor,
	twice now) and then leave it for another position before the
expiration of
	the term the voters elected you to.. People vote for you for that
	particular office and expect you to finish what you ran for.
	
	When Jindal lost the gubernatorial election the last time, he set
his
	sights on the seat in the First Cong. District when Vitter was
elected to
	the Senate. Jindal won the race handily and the same for his
reelection bid
	to the same seat. Then he decided he wanted to run again for another
set of
	pastures and announced for governor again. Had I been a voter in
that
	district I don't know that I wouldn't have been unhappy about that,
having
	just reelected him to the seat.
	
	Clout on the Hill in Congress is based on seniority. The longer
you're
	there the better your chances of getting some plum committee
assignments.
	It's possible Jindal might have been able to do more for Louisiana
by
	staying in the House, being able to direct funds to the state.
	
	Just my opinion and 2 cents worth.
