Forget about Jindal. After his wimpy impersonation of Mr. Roberts, it ain't happening. My bet is on General David Petraeus. The other day I saw Oliver North (who should be behind bars along with William Ayers) on FOX News hyping Petraeus about what a great job he was doing in Afghanistan, as if Petraeus was making all the military decisions without any direction from President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton or US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke.
And there's this: "THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that General Petraeus is planning on delivering the commencement address at the University of Iowa in 2010. Petraeus going to Iowa, a state he doesn't have previous ties to, is going to create a huge amount of buzz about his presidential ambitions because the Iowa Caucuses kick off the whole presidential nomination process. If he does, deliver the address—and Petraeus must know this—it will be seen as a sign that he is thinking about running in 2012."

I'm saying the GOP pick will be Petraeus/Palin for 2012.
