On 60 Minutes tonight, there was a brief expose on Gov. Bobby Jindal.
My opinion has changed a little bit about him.
I found him to be very personable, as well as I do see him as appealing to the masses.
His likeability factor is high; he comes across as a nice guy, and we haven't seen a politician in quite some time that comes across as Jindal.
Jindal is kind of like that nerdy neighbor next door, that when he sees you in a bind with your groceries in hand, he's willing to lend a hand. He does not have a swagger and he doesn't try to be suave when he speaks (opposite of our current President). This does not mean he is not confident, because he is confident just not in an egotistical manner.
Jindal is toned down, less flash, and more substance. He has conservative values and he is not afraid to express them in his own patient way. His delivery of beliefs is direct, but not threatening.
His speech last week that followed Obama's, did not do him any justice.
I think we have only just begun to see what he is capable of. Jindal is one to watch.
He is young, but he is grounded and he will expand on his conservative values as time passes.
Jindal will be a definite contender for the Republican party.
