Even though I am pleased with thechoice of Rep. Paul Ryan as the running mate for Governor Mitt Romney my
personal choice would have been Louisiana Governor
Bobby Jindal. Jindal would have brought something extra to the table when compared to Romney and
would have helped with one of Romney's biggest weaknesses. Jindal
has extensive and diversified experience in dealing with public policy.
Jindal would have improved upon
Romney poor record on healthcare as Jindal has been involved in healthcare in
not only academics but also helped to run healthcare systems in both the state
and federal level. Jindal would provide insight on a health care system should
be run and show why Obamacare is bad for America . Also instead of just
attacking Obamacare he would also have the capability of dealing a system that would
not only replace Obamacare but be better and actually be constitutional. Jindal
would have provided expertise on education as he ran the University of Louisiana
System
Jindal would also not come with
the same baggage as Ryan. Even though the Ryan Budget is needed to help reduce
the debt and reform entitlements it will be a point that Democrats will surely
attack the Romney ticket on. Even though Jindal had problems in his response to
Obama in 2009 it would not be a point that Democrats could hammer on as the Republicans
could just respond with some of the things that Biden has said in the past.
Jindal is also more ready to
assume the presidency than Paul Ryan. As Jindal not only been a state governor
but also has been a congressman, cabinet member and director of a state's health
care as well as in charge of an university system that is one of the largest in
the country which surpasses Ryan's experience of just being a House Member.
In conclusion Paul Ryan was a good
choice to Romney's running mate but Jindal would have added more to a Romney
ticket.
