They don't have many possible candidates who can do that.

It's too bad, I thought he was a straight up guy before he went to Congress. I guess that's where he learned that it's ok to say whatever will get you elected. For those that disagree, I'll point out that he ran on an anti-corruption platform, but has supported only window dressing legislation. It's been suggested that the state govt is actually less transparent now, if that's even possible. Jindal is a first class panderer.

Think about what Jindal actually observed versus what he reported his friend observing. Mental illness on her part explains the difference in their experiences without the need to invoke a demon. And he goes on to say that he felt a tightness of chest when dealing with her - well of course! He's watching a good friend go crazy; who wouldn't have a stress reaction to that? Anonymous:

I grew up in an evangelical church and am I recent de-convert and I love the freedom that I have found as an atheist, but I have to admit that stories like that still scare me sometimes even though I know its irratoinal.

Hopefully the US will be injected with reason over the next 8 years, so crazies like Jindal would alienate the rational conservatives and give the Democratic candidate a better chance.
