Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La., has been mentioned frequently as a possible candidate for the 2016 presidential race. In what figures to be a crowded field, Gov. Jindal may just have put himself a leg up with constitutional conservatives with his bold stand for the Convention of States Project, and against the overreach of President Barack Obama.
