Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal dodged a question about potentially being Mitt Romney’s VP pick on CNN’s “Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien” Thursday morning. 

“I have the job I want,” Jindal said. “I’ll be supporting Mitt Romney and whoever he selects as his running mate. This is a very important election for America.” 

From there, Jindal pivoted to the economy. O’Brien tried to press him on whether he would accept an offer to be Romney’s running mate.

I’ve got the job that I want. I know pundits will be speculating on who he’s going to pick. At the end of the day, he’ll pick the person who will do the best job as president and make that decision not based on political or other grounds and whoever he picks I’m going to support that ticket. I think it’s that important not only for Louisiana but our country.
