“No,” he replied.
[Louisiana Gov. Bobby] Jindal’s trip to Iowa last month fueled speculation that he was laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign, and he did not rule out changing his mind over the next few years.
I guess “No” really means “maybe.” And he’s not alone:

I’m not saying Bobby is a great candidate, but out of the starting gate he’s much preferable to Sarah.

I’m glad the Republicans are working on providing us with an alternative choice if Barack should stumble and fall.
