Should Americans get to know Piyush Jindal - - one of McCain's Memorial Day b-b-q guests at his Phoenix Ranch? Will he be named the V-P nominee this week? Thanks for supplying relevant biographical information for those reading the "IMMIGRATION" section here !

  1. Jindal is too Conservative to be McCain's VP. He was on Morning Joe, this morning, and he said he will not be the VP because he is happy being a governor.


  2. Not the first Asian-American at federal level but the second. . .the first person of color to be elected a Southern governor - -

    Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971) is a Republican politician and the current governor of the U.S. state of Louisiana.  Before his election as governor, he was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 1st congressional district, to which he was elected in 2004 to succeed current U.S. Senator David Vitter. Jindal was re-elected to Congress in the 2006 election with 88 percent of the vote. Jindal was the second Indian-American to serve in Congress.

    On October 20, 2007, Jindal was elected governor of Louisiana, winning a four-way race with 54% of the vote. At age 36, Jindal became the youngest current governor in the United States. He also became the first non-white to serve as governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction, the first elected Indian American governor in U.S. history, as well as the second Asian American governor to serve in the continental United States. . .

    [He] was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to recently arrived Punjabi Indian immigrants Amar and Raj Jindal, who were attending graduate school. His father left India and his ancestral family village of Khanpura in 1970.  His mother, Raj Jindal, is an information technology director for the Louisiana Department of Labor.  According to family lore, Jindal adopted the name "Bobby" from the character Bobby Brady after watching The Brady Bunch television series at age four."

  3. Gov of Louisiana.

    Someone I have a huge crush on.

    Too bad I'm hormonal, middle aged and too old for him.

    He is so cute, I could just pinch his cheeks!

    I love young republicans.  I love old republicans.  I love midol and chocolate.

  4. Really smart Indian guy.  He's the LA Governor.  He's too young to be VP.  LA needs him anyway.
