Mac/Jindal?

Did I read that right? Bobby Jindal is on the four-name "short list" for VP candidate?

Look, don't get me wrong... the man is solid. Catholic, born in Baton Rogue, LA (so he really is Southern), and real conservative in his make up. He has had a meteoric rise in the Party since his '06 re-election to Congress (winning almost 90% of the vote), and is the first non-white Governor of LA, and only the second Republican to win the Governorship since 1877 and the end of Reconstruction.

But, damn... the guy has only been Governor since October, and he was born in '71! That makes him damn near as young as Ryan...

Is this the GOP (and McCain) pandering to minorities again, or is he really the best choice for the job? I can see wanting some youth behind Mac's age on the ticket, but that's a 40-year swing, right there.
