Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has given every indication he will run for president in 2016. He's fired off op-ed after op-ed bashing everything from ObamaCare to his own party. He's visited Iowa and New Hampshire. He's called out President Obama — during a White House visit, no less, in a shocking breach of decorum.
Clearly, Jindal is positioning himself to run in 2016. The one problem, though, is that all his maneuvering has him still sucking wind at the back of the pack.
