So what does Bobby Jindal’s election as Louisiana’s governor say about the future of GOP politics? As Bill Kristol, editor of “The Weekly Standard” and a Fox News commentator, has said, this is very good news for Republicans.
“He’s a very impressive guy,” Kristol said. “It’s awfully good news for Republicans. Haley Barbour, the Republican governor of Mississippi, one of the two states worst hit (by Hurricane Katrina), is going to get reelected with a huge margin, and the other state which had an incompetent Democratic governor, has now elected a Republican to replace her. Republicans who make a good case for themselves can do well.”
Republicans who make a good case for themselves can do well. That statement should be taken to heart by every GOP candidate, campaign manager, speechwriter, press secretary and consultant running for any office next year. And the way to make a good case for themselves is to run as unabashed conservatives.
