louisiana governor bobby jindal. yesterday, he joins bobby jindal in louisiana for fund-raisers. the beltway press describing him as buzzed about as one of romney's most visible supporters and as a vp short lister. >> i'm bobby jindal, governor of louisiana. >> according to the washington post, bobby jindal's stock is on the rise. the paper extolling the many conservative virtues that make him a possible vice presidential choice, like for example, criticizing president obama. republican voters love that. and fighting with democrats on tv. that's a must. also, he is not old. mossel tav. and there's the rolling back of medical care for the poor and uninsured in his state. maybe that could cancel out romney care in massachusetts? in fact, it would be a huge deal if mitt romney did pick bobby jindal as his running back, in part because it would be a history making choice. bobby jindal, of course, would be the first indian american on a major party presidential ticket. and the republican party does not have a great record for breaking even their own party's glass ceilings. to say noth

because i hear bobby jindal, i hear rick scott. i hear rumors about rick perry in texas. do you think some of these state governors will say no thanks to the federal money and literally kiss good-bye to their income? >> i think they'll be compelled not to do so by their state legislatures and by other politicians in the state. we saw a similar dance if you remember with this stimulus money where sarah palin, bobby jindal, some of these other republican governors tried to make a show over using the stimulus money. eventually, they all took it. it's tough to imagine any of these governors making anything other than sort of a symbolic case against the health care overhaul. i do think however that it could end up motivating republican voters. we see polls showing that republican voters are more motivated to go to the polls. this is one of the driving reasons why republicans are not letting this go. are thot answering the question about what they would do instead and are making these cases about refusing to participate in the mandatory elements of the overhaul. >> incredible.

i'm afraid not. >> it's bobby jindal? >> rob portman. >> tim pawlenty. >> i fear for senator kerry, who desperately wanted to be secretary of state in 2008 and was probably most likely person to become secretary of state until the president decided that hillary clinton was the person he wanted in that job. he very much wants it again this time. i think his problem is that there are two other people who really want that job who are -- one of whom is incredibly close to the president, susan rice, the u.n. ambassador, one of whom is tom donellen. both of those people are close to the president and have real constituencies around the president. john kerry has the respect of the president but is not close to the president, nor does he have really anybody inside the white house fighting in his corner. it's very hard to get that job if you're not close and don't have the constituency. >> not even the law of the sea tr treaty can get you the job. >> i agree with everything he's saying but play this out. if john kerry became secre

bobby jindal, we don't know for certain. of course bobby jindal is not in washington. he hasn't been on the campaign trail as much but the romney campaign put him on on "meet the press" to combat howard dean as the romney -- >> you're right. i notice no chris christie, no marco rubio. why? >> as you know, at first it was reported that marco rube rubio was not being vetted and mitt romney said he was the. i talked to people close to marco rubio 24 hours that are story and at that point he had not been asked for any documents. to maybe marco rubio is being vetted but it's hard to tell. he's doing his own bus tour and promoting his book. it doesn't look as though he's being vetted. you saw chris christie was the surrogate in chief for mitt romney and doing events on his own then. but chris christie was late to events, didn't show up a couple of times. he rubbed people the wrong way who are close to mitt romney. you don't see chris christie campaigning on his own. >> do you think romney doesn't feel he needs to make a dramatic choice, a game-changer. >> at this point no. t

i think bobby jindal is really the complete package. >> why, why, why? >> why? because he's a conservative with a great record of two terms as governor of louisiana. >> pawlenty is a conservative. >> pawlenty has more mix of a record as a governor between tax hikes and -- >> you said that with experience. also, the two of them were friends. they were contemporaneously gophers. >> i'd love to see romney pick either pawlenty or jindal, but he will probably pick portman. around with him. we'll be >>> predictions, pat. >> john, i think that before the november election we're going to have maybe not a war with iran, but i believe some kind of collision and some kind of confrontation. i don't think the israelis are going to attack but there's a lot of forces moving into the gulf. the sanctions i think are hurting very badly, and i believe if you did have this collision, or do have this collision, i think it will by and large benefit barack obama. >> eleanor. >> the obama campaign is really drawing blood on romney with the attacks on bane and romney's shifting stories

tea party leader is an evangelical leaders, all of the smorgasbord that of bobby -- governor bobby jindal. whether he is ready for the national vetting issue is separate but in terms of public policy work and this idea that he converted from hinduism to catholicism and very much a champion of pro-life community especially in louisiana governor bobby jindal is the cure a of picks that would do mitt romney a world of good. a few others if we want to talk about those but tim pawlenty is one that would excite some. he has a very nice story. he is a born-again christian who doesn't talk about it as much but he is an his story and his family would play well. he is also developed a lot of street credit in the evangelical community. that is a big part of it and he has a good track record on the issues but beyond those two you have bob macdonald of virginia and a couple others. marco rubio would be fine. national vetting issues there. those are about four and they would love mike huckabee but i -- of maybe even a cure see. >> host: if it were condoleezza rice? >> guest: a major problem. the reason

governor bobby jindal said the health care law isn't good for every state. but look at the weird justification he used in trying to explain what he meant. >> look, states are different. founding fathers intended each state to be a laboratory of experimentation. may not work as well in vermont or other states. what works in massachusetts may not be appropriate to another state. >> you're comparing mardi gras to universal insurance. >> every state is different. >> but aside from the weird ness, the fact is that republican governors including jindal have said that they may opt out implementing the law medicare expansion. it would have a devastating effect on the uninsured. gop governors may turn down $258 billion in federal money leaving 9.2 million americans uninsured. bob, that could be devastating. >> it could be. i think in the end in most places it won't happen. federal government pays 100% the first three years. pays 90% after that of this cost. you have governors like jindal or rick scott in florida who's the most unpopular governor in the history of the

republican governor of louisiana bobby jindal and maryland governor mall leigh. o'malley, the economy stinks. let's take a look at the trend. this isn't a one-month blip. look at the numbers. second quarter, 80,000, 77,000, 68,000. governor o'malley, how does president obama answer a voter who says, you inherited a terrible mess, granted, we hired you, you failed. >> we faced the biggest job losses since the great depression, that's what george w. bush and his failed policies left to us. we have put under president obama's leadership, 28 months of private sector jobs growth. would we like to be happening faster? you bet we would. the republican congress has done everything to stall this recovery. you know what, perhaps they might succeed. no one can argue the fact that last year, we created more jobs than were created in all of the eight years of george w. bush, that happened in 2010 as well. we need to keep moving foward. it would be great if the people of our country make change and put in some people who will create jobs. >> governor jindal, what about that po

and bobby jindal, we know bobby jindal was considered the bright light, the rising star, the superstar of the republican party a couple of years ago until he was tapped. remember his first term as governor, he was tapped to give the republican response to the president's state of the union. obama's first state of the union as i recall and bobby jindal bombed big time! >> democratic leaders in congress, they rejected this approach. instead of trusting us to make decisions with our own money. they pass the largest government-spending bill in history with a price tag of more than a trillion dollars with interest. >> bill: oh, yeah. it looked like he was reading it. he probably was. he had obviously taped it beforehand and you know, all of the kind of wind went out of bobby jindal's sails. the only one with any fire, with any color is chris christie. remember last week? he was talking about the fact that he -- is trying to lose weight and he's even working out with a trainer. >> you can go without drinking. you can live every day without taking drugs. you can't live every day without eatin

we see bobby jindal out there, tim pawlenty. this "s" this going to work as we look at the next two days? trying to offset the president as he's hitting strong that economic message and try to balance, if you will, the criticism of him and the economy overhe last several years. >> i think clearly both sides want to talk about the economy, both sides are vulnerable in different areas. i think as far as the effectiveness of the obama campaign's focus on bain capital, you know, there was a recent poll on swing states and it showed that 33%, this is an nbc and "wall street journal" poll. it showed that 33% of respondents in swing states said that the more they learned about mitt romney's economic business record, the more negative of an opinion they had for him. regardless of the sman tiemanti outsourcing or whether or not mitt romney had a role in deciding some of these things, the fact is these negative attack ads are very impactful and they're having a big impact inwing state voters. >> talking about swing states, jonathan, when

you know, i think another dark horse is bobby jindal, evangel kalz really like him. he has a really, really strong record on abortion, in the sense that he's against it in all instances. so a lot of evangelicals are very much interested in what he will do and whether or not the romney campaign is looking at him. he was also out on the stump over these last days for mitt romney. >> jonathan capehart, imagine for me bobby jindal or a marco rubio, the younger men in this crowd with less experience, standing at that hour and a half debate podium with joe biden. that's the first test of how they fill that position. >> well, i think either senator rubio or governor jindal would do an even better job than sarah palin did when she went up against joe biden four years ago. >> oh, come on, that's not the test. cut out. >> i know it's not the test, but i thinkny o-mallika brings up a good point, the person that romney has to pick and wants to pick, from all the reports we've heard is somebody who's ready on day one to be vice president, but to also take over the job of presiden

. >> when we hear that from louisiana governor bobby jindal. does mitt romney and his allies benefit from raising the obama care spectre? it doesn't seem like it's a good issue. >> i disagree. you see already since thursday, romney raised close to $5 million on the internet, due to impassioned activists who are more likely to get engaged, knock on doors, put up yard signs and do all of the things necessary to win an election, this issue has really energized conservatives and really coleased them around governor romney. >> at a certain point, does it make sense for him to say, tearing down this legacy of president obama's -- tearing down his own legacy, and, therefore, he should probably move off this, after he is able to maximize the fund-raising, $4.6 million there. >> yeah, i think because there is so much energy, because this issue when it is put in place at a federal level,d!=1e differe than what governor romney did in massachusetts, that r@ ly this is a -- a rallying cry for people who don't like this law, believe it is an unfunded manda

bobby jindal is my governor. the #fbj, forget bobby jindal, but the whole point why we can't forget him because the democratic party in the state of louisiana did not put up a real candidate against him. like you can't vote for someone else unless there's a real alternative. how do we get the politics, can the national democratic party say we're targeting texas and louisiana where they are turning down basic rights? >> the democratic party should be doing that but in the absence of doing that, people who are concerned need to go to voters themselves and get them to start pressuring politicians actually in both parties. we have nearly 50 million american who is are officially poor by the federal statistics and guidelines. another 50 million we call the near poor, just a notch or two above the official poverty line. that's almost 100 million people, which is about a third of the entire u.s. population, poor or near poor. what kind of middle class society is that if you have so many people living in poverty? >> it's

next, bobby jindal and tim pawlenty at a mitt romney meeting in pittsburgh. the labor department has announced that unemployment remained at 8.2% for the month of june, with u.s. employers adding just 80,000 new jobs. mitt romney said the report showed the economic policies have not gotten america working again. the president is going to have to take responsibility for it. here are his comments. >> good morning. we have seen the jobs report this morning, and it is another kick in the gut to middle-class families. it is consistent with what i have heard as i have gone across the country and met with families in their homes, in cafes and restaurants and in break rooms. american families are struggling. there is a lot of misery in america today. these numbers understate what people are feeling, and the amount of pain occurring in middle-class america. not only is the 8.2% number unacceptably high, and one that has been in place for over 41 months, but in addition, if you look at the broader analysis of people who are out of work or have dropped out of the work f
