Any chance of Jindal talking about the sinking state of our economy? Nah. He is shilling for McCain again.

Plus, a look ahead to the political conventions: Will there be Democratic unity after leaked e-mails shed light on the Clinton campaign’s plan to undermine Barack Obama during the primary season? And how are conservatives reacting to McCain’s statement that he is open to selecting a pro-choice running mate? We will have insights & analysis in our political roundtable with the Atlantic’s Joshua Green, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell & NBC’s Political Director Chuck Todd.

Indian-American governor says no to being VP pick
58 minutes ago

Below is the first wire story out on Jindal’s Meet the Press Appearance today. He’s still touting tax cuts when he opposed and killed the biggest tax cut of all. And regarding unemployment, I would challenge his numbers. Non-government unemployment in Louisiana today is higher than it was just six months ago. However, I’m glad that he is upfront about the increase in government payroll. “Growing state jobs” is exactly what he is doing. Only in government do jobs grow on trees.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Rising Republican star Bobby Jindal—the young Indian-American governor of Lousiana—on Sunday ruled himself out of the race to become John McCain’s vice-presidential pick.

Asked if he would like to be McCain’s running mate, Jindal, 37, told NBC’s Meet the Press “No. I’ve got the job I want.”

“I’m voting for Senator McCain. I’ll do what I can to help him. I’ll do it as good governor. We cut taxes, we’re growing jobs, lowest unemployment in 30 years, but we have more work,” he said.

Jindal’s name has been floated as a possible vice presidential pick as the rumor mill heats up over who will do battle in November’s elections alongside both McCain and his Democratic rival Barack Obama.

At 37, the Louisiana governor would offer some balance to McCain’s White House bid, as the 72-year-old Arizona senator would be the oldest US president elected to a first-term in office if he wins the polls.

“I don’t want to be vice president. I’m not going to be the nominee,” Jindal added Sunday.

Jindal will be voting for Obama to win, leaving a opening for Jindal to run for president in 2012.
