Whatever her weaknesses, you can't deny she's got the telegenic quality."<BR/><BR/>Palin gives a great speech, but Jindal is a far better extemporaneous speaker, and the latter is more important in a campaign than oratorical skills. The debates and TV interviews have a lot more impact on how people vote on Election Day, than anything read off the prompter at the convention.<BR/><BR/>Hence, I would lean towards Jindal or Romney as the 2012 nominee over Palin (also, Palin has continued to express support for amnesty, even after the campaign ended and she was no longer shackled to RSM's crazy cousin).Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278321186878372562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-56412549558117654492009-02-25T06:15:00.000-05:002009-02-25T06:15:00.000-05:00I live in La. and see Jindal speak on the news wit...I live in La. and see Jindal speak on the news with some regularity. Within the first 15 seconds of his speech all I could think was WTF?! Was he nervous? Overcoached? Snatched by pod-people and replaced with an alien being? <BR/><BR/>It was awful. The cheesy stories were ridiculous. <BR/><BR/>Ugh.<BR/><BR/>I agree on the Palin factor - she's got charisma and is much more telegenic; however, this was NOT the Bobby we know in Louisiana. He was completely and totally off his game.<BR/><BR/>I was embarrassed for him.Pat Austin Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767059128758168960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-82620618957218649132009-02-25T03:44:00.000-05:002009-02-25T03:44:00.000-05:00Jindal is over!Jindal is over!MLWELZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256611697831830826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-75252800137459549542009-02-24T23:27:00.000-05:002009-02-24T23:27:00.000-05:00I think she has bigger balls.
