Louisiana’s Republican Governor, Bobby Jindal yesterday rejected the rumors about his veep intention, stating that he has never spoken to Sen. John McCain about the Republican vice presidential nomination. He reiterated his intention to remain the governor of Louisiana.

Jindal said yesterday afternoon, "We've never talked about it. We've had several conversations, not only when he's been here, by phone as well. We've always talked about Louisiana's needs, we've talked about national issues, but we've always been talking about how Louisiana is recovering.”

However, speaking to reporters in Baton Rouge, Jindal refused to completely rule out accepting an offer to be McCain’s running mate. He said, “I think it would be extremely presumptuous for me to turn down something that has not been offered to me. But I've been public in every conversation I've ever had with anybody, I've made it very clear I've got the job that I want.”

According to rumors, Jindal, along with Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida and former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, were invited to McCain’s home in Sedona, Ariz., this weekend.

But, Jindal said that the visit was meant for other reason; it was a chance to talk to politicians and business leaders about Louisiana. He explained, “It's a great opportunity for us to get the message out that Louisiana is open for business, we're rebuilding. We want the business community to come invest in Louisiana."

But the Louisiana Democratic Party disagrees with the intention of Jindal’s trip. In a news release, Chris Wittington, chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party, said, “Bobby Jindal has always put his political career ahead of the people of Louisiana and his meeting with John McCain this weekend only drives the point home. Now, not six months into his term, his eye is on the prize of the Vice Presidency with little focus on what is going on here in Louisiana.”

36-year-old, Jindal is the youngest serving governor in the United States. He insisted that his trip to Arizona will benefit his state. He said, “I think it'd be a good thing for the governor to have a good relationship with the next president of the United States; Senator McCain could be our next president.”
