How about the governor of Louisiana? I've been trying to watch Bobby Jindal as much as I can. For someone as young as he is, he has earned his reputation as a highly intelligent and skilled executive. He would do a much better job than Obama. I think the Republican party has a concern that Jindal isn't as "charismatic" as Obama, but hopefully enough people can get past that.
Of all the Republicans mentioned in the last year, I'd like to see Jindal move forward. My biggest issue with him is the issue of religion and abortion.
