The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that a group of Bobby Jindal supporters in Louisiana have set up their own PAC, called the Jindal For President Draft Council Inc., to urge the Louisiana Governor to run for President and to build up support for him across the country.
Rama Mohanty, one of the lead organizers, said that Jindal’s people are not involved with the draft PAC, but they are aware of it. “They are supportive of what we are doing,” said Mohanty.
Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin indicated differently, though. “The governor has said that he has the job he wants, and he hopes to be re-elected (in 2011) to continue to move Louisiana forward,” Plotkin told the Times-Picayune. He added: “It’s flattering, but the governor does not support this effort. This is a distraction from the critical issues that we face, and the governor will not be involved in any capacity.”
