Bobby Jindal rejects Mitt Romney's 'gifts' theory

LAS VEGAS — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal forcefully rejected Mitt Romney’s claimthat he lost because of President Barack Obama’s “gifts” to minorities and young voters.
Asked about the failed GOP nominee’s reported comments on a conference call with donors earlier Wednesday, the incoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association became visibly agitated.
“No, I think that’s absolutely wrong,” he said at a press conference that opened the RGA’s post-election meeting here. “Two points on that: One, we have got to stop dividing the American voters. We need to go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote.
“And, secondly, we need to continue to show how our policies help every voter out there achieve the American Dream, which is to be in the middle class, which is to be able to give their children an opportunity to be able to get a great education. … So, I absolutely reject that notion, that description. I think that’s absolutely wrong.”
does this guy have a future with republicans or is he part of an effort to blame Romney for his own failure to launch instead of all the skulduggery and money they soaked his candidacy with as being maybe their overreach?
“Gov. Romney’s an honorable person that needs to be thanked for his many years of public service, but his campaign was largely about his biography and his experience,” he said. “And it’s a very impressive biography and very impressive set of experiences. But time and time again, biography and experience is not enough to win an election. You have to have a vision. You have to connect your policies to the aspirations of the American people. I don’t think the campaign did that, and as a result this became a contest between personalities. And you know what? Chicago won that.”
syruping up his inflammatory assault on Romney doesn't make him look any less an exaggerator at least an out right liar at best. so out of the gate he is not really being candid just more of self promotion, is the right dragging the river of potential candidates for 2016 they had 9 or 10 for 2012, so would we get new faces coming out of the clown car?
