Could Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal land the keynote address at the Republican National Convention? The Politico is floating the idea, and the New Orleans Times-Picayune quotes a couple sources who say a prominent speaking position for the 37-year-old governor might be in the works.
The speculation comes shortly after Jindal seemingly took himself off John McCain’s short list of vice presidential picks.
If Jindal does deliver the keynote, one can’t help but draw comparisons with 2004, when Barack Obama delivered a “rock star” performance at the Democrat’s national convention that ultimately launched his run for the presidency. Is the GOP grooming Jindal for a similar role?
