Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindah is a behind-the-scenes topic as a possible running mate for Mitt Romney.
Though the nation’s first Indian-American governor may be flying a bit under the radar in the VP speculation game, his chance of being selected may be as good as any of the more buzzed-about prospects.
“He’s certainly on the short list as far as qualified people that could be a complement to Governor Romney,” said Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, who endorsed the now-presumptive nominee in early February and speaks weekly with his advisers. “Governor Romney’s hallmark is his ability to turn things around, whether the Olympics here in Utah, or turning around Massachusetts when he was governor, or turning around businesses from failure to success — that’s certainly going to be a big part of his platform, and Bobby’s done that as governor of Louisiana.”
