Bobby Jindal will be a prime time speaker at the Republican Convention with his talk coming the same night before the Vice President Nominee’s own acceptance address on the third day of the convention.  The keynote speaker will be Rudy Giulliani.

Bobby Jindal, the new Governor of Louisiana has for months been reported to be a possible VP candidate.  The date and timing of his speech substantially suggests that he will not be the Vice President pick. 

Jindal over the past days has said that he did not want to be Vice President.  He also said he would help John McCain get elected.  He appeared on Meet The Press this Sunday along with VP possible mentions which raised speculation.  Jindal has said that he always has stated that he loves the job he has—Governor of Louisiana and that he would not be the VP.

Also, here is a press release from the Democratic Convention:
