Bobby Jindal as McCain's Veep?

I've heard this before, but it just felt like wishful thinking by some desi's. But, looks like he IS a potential Vice Presidential candidate. Very Interesting.

From IHT by Adam Nagourney:
Of all the names being mentioned as McCain's potential running mate, Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, the 36-year-old first-term governor of Louisiana, is not only the youngest and least experienced, but also the only one who is not white. Yet in a year in which Democratic voters have raised few objections to such traditional "obstacles," Jindal may be especially attractive as Republicans seek a way to offset the "post-racial" and youthful appeal of Senator Barack Obama.

  2. Not sure about racism, but he is a bigot. here is his opinion on other religions:
    Jindal explains how Catholicism has more merit than all other Religions. Jindal states non-Catholics are burdened with "utterly depraved minds" and calls individuals who ignore the teachings of the Catholic church intellectually dishonest.
