Bobby Jindal is running! . . . Er, for reelection as governor. He has a new ad hitting airwaves:

The ad, a transcript of which was released by the campaign Wednesday morning, will feature Jindal discussing the state’s economy and his opposition to tax increases — essentially a truncated version of his stump speech.
“Our economy has certainly done better than the region and the country’s economy but we are impacted by this national recession,” Jindal says. “We can’t get complacent, we can’t be satisfied with the progress we’ve made.”

(As soon as I can find the video, I will post it. It’s not on his campaign’s website yet.)

With roughly $9 million in campaign funds and no declared opponent, Jindal’s reelection chances look pretty healthy.
