"Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off our coast. We lost 100 miles last year off our coast thanks to H..." — Bobby Jindal

I think the American people are looking for real leadership. That's what I've done in Louisiana, that's what I'll do in America.

Here's an idea: How about just 'Americans?' That has a nice ring to it, if you ask me. Placing undue emphasis on our 'separateness' is a step backward. Bring back the melting pot.

The Republican party does have a lot of work to do. But changing our principles is not a winning strategy. We need to modernize, not moderate.

Higher taxes still does not create prosperity for all. And, more government still does not grow jobs.
