BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was on CNN with Wolf Blitzer
Thursday from the Republican Governor's Conference in Las Vegas. He discussed
why the Republican Party lost the presidential race and saying the party needs
to go in another direction.
Jindal has also
recently given interviews to The Huffington Post and the Washington based
Politico. He has not given any interviews to local media in sometime.
WAFB-TV requested an interview Friday and that did not
happen. Political analyst Clay Young says that could hurt Jindal at home.
"Locally here the people want to hear from him," he says. "It's important to
learn the lesson of Chris Christy [New Jersey Governor] when it comes to the
state that you represent they come first, Washington comes second."
Young says the Governor is cashing out his notoriety mainly
because he can. "I think the Governor is still playing his national card out
after the election he knows the bench is now clear," says Young. "I think he
wants to be considered one of the front runners. I know the Governor won't
admit this but as a politician you always want some of the greener grass on the
other side of the fence."
At last check Jindal's press office was not sure when the
governor is going to return to Baton Rouge.
