Cross Jindal Off McCain VP List

Via CNN, GOP rising star Bobby Jindal puts the breaks on all the vice-presidential speculation:

"I'm not going to be the vice presidential nominee or vice president," Jindal said. "I'm going to help Senator McCain get elected, as governor of Louisiana."

"Let me be clear: I have said in every private and public conversation, I've go the job I want," Jindal also said.

One thing Jindal might do is deliver the keynote address at the Republican Convention. Baring a McCain win in November, look for him to warm to the idea of being vice president (hey, maybe even president) in 2012.

Question: Did Mitt Romney's hopes just get that much brighter? How about Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty?

And did Robert Novak run over that person in the crosswalk today because he was still fuming about potentially being duped by McCain's senior advisers over when John would announce his VP choice? Or does Novak simply have a thing against pedestrians in general? So many questions.
