Hope Floats on the Bayou

In post-Katrina Louisiana, it's Bobby Jindal to the rescue.

(Page 3 of 3)

IT IS NO WONDER that conservatives are rooting for Bobby Jindal. The American Conservative Union gave him a perfect 100 rating in 2005; the liberal Americans for Democratic Action just a 10. National Right to Life gave him a 100, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council 96, the National Federation of Independent Business 100, the Family Research Council 92 percent. But he supports working men and women, as is evidenced by support from some of the less ideological labor unions (International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, 75 percent).

"He gets it," said McCrery of his one-time intern. "He understands why our philosophy is the right one if you want to maximize the opportunities for the greatest number of people in our society to be successful."

It doesn't take a congressional budget analyst to know how to score the value of those convictions.
