Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, himself often mentioned as a top-tier candidate for vice president, today recommended Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for the job.
Speaking this afternoon at RedState Gathering 2012 in Jacksonville, Fla., Jindal’s message of responsible spending and education reform had plenty of attendees sold on him as the vice presidential candidate.

I can see the 'this nice Jindal fellow *would* make a fine VP, yes' collective thought-bubble form over the room. #RSG12

Asked by Breitbart’s Larry O’Connor his pick for vice president, though, Jindal named Ryan as his favorite of “a lot of great choices.” “Paul Ryan has been specific, bold and courageous in his budget plans,” said Jindal.

Jindal’s address, which touched largely on school choice and education reform, resonated with the crowd.
"We pay teachers based on how long they've been breathing instead of how well they do their job." ~ Bobby Jindal on education reform #RSG12

Jindal is doing a great job showing just how out of touch and anti-education teachers' unions are. #rsg12
