Epoch Times Staff Mar 5, 2009


In a conference that ended Saturday, conservative activists picked former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and current Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal as Republican frontrunners in the 2012 election.

4. A bitter taste, one presumes.
But will he still have a party to run in by 2012?
