Louisiana Gov. Jindal praises Republican unity in NH visit

DOVER Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said President Barack Obama has to secure the border and stop the implementation of Common Core education standards, which Jindal called a federal takeover of curriculum, in brief remarks Saturday at the Strafford County GOPs annual picnic in Dover.

I trust parents, said Jindal, a possible presidential candidate in 2016, adding that the federal government shouldnt be involved in education standards.

Thats a decision that should be made locally, he said.

Regarding immigration, Jindal said an influx of undocumented immigrants is fueling a humanitarian crisis in Louisiana. He criticized Obamas decision Saturday to delay executive action on immigration until after the November elections.

This is a president that needs to follow the laws and follow the Constitution, Jindal said.

Jindal also focused on Republican Party unity, just days before Tuesdays primary. Numerous candidates for local and statewide elections including U.S. Senate candidates Scott Brown, Jim Rubens and Bob Smith attended the Strafford County event on a hot, muggy afternoon.

Jindal said its important for the party to stay together before and after Tuesdays vote.

No matter who wins, our candidates are better than their candidates, Jindal said, before accusing the Democratic Party of trying to redefine the American dream by promoting bigger government.

Jindal sued the Obama administration late last month in an attempt to block further implementation of Common Core standards, which were instituted in some states including Louisiana, where a state judge upheld their use last month in 2010. The standards detail skills and knowledge public school students should acquire in each grade from kindergarten through high school.

New Hampshire Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Horn introduced Jindal on Saturday by touting his recent lawsuit. She said the governor has been well-received across the state.

Ditka in Ad for Republican Gubernatorial Candidate

Da Coach has weighed in on Da Campaign for Illinois governor.

Former Chicago Bears football coach Mike Ditka appears in a new TV ad for Republican candidate Bruce. It aired Sunday during a broadcast of the Bears game against the Buffalo Bills.

The 30-second spot plays off Ditka's reputation as a tough, no-nonsense task master.

In it, the Super Bowl-winning coach sits across a table at a restaurant and tells Rauner he likes him because he opposes special interests. Ditka slams his clenched fist and adds, "Bam, hit 'em right in the mouth."

When Rauner responds that maybe he's "been too hard" on special interests, Ditka gives him a 10-second, silent, cold stare before the Republican backtracks, saying, "OK. You're right. I don't know what I was thinking."

"Yeah, stick to the game plan, Bruce!" Ditka barks. "Stick to the game plan!"

Rauner, a multimillionaire businessman, is locked in a tight campaign race against Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn's campaign responded to the ad in a statement later in the day, drawing attention to the Republican challenger's wealth.

"Only a billionaire ... could afford to run such expensive ads during the Bears game," the Quinn campaign said.
