Jindal reminds everyone he's running for President by suspending campaign

Jindal Suspends Campaign After Louisiana Movie Theater Shooting

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) suspended his presidential campaign after a gunman killed two people and then himself in a Lafayette, La., movie theater on Thursday night, Fox News reported Friday morning.

Jindal confirmed that he suspended his campaign on "Fox and Friends," but he did not specify for how long he would suspend campaign events.

"We’re going to to whatever we can to support our community here. This is a time for us to come together," he told Fox News.

About half the Repug field are running for the money.
They get to keep any donations during their "exploratory" time period ( have you noticed how many of THOSE there were this year?)
then their PAC gets to keep any donations during their campaign, no matter how short the campaign turns out to be.
Perry needs $$$$ cause he is under multiple indictments.

Problem is, there is damn little reporting of what happens to the money after the campaign is done.

Yesterday when he went to the site of the shooting was the first time I saw him in the news since he said he was running for the Repug nomination.

He's so thrilled to be able to show how he could really really handle the Big Job, how he could be right there and just know what everybody is going through!1 Unfortunately, his brand of "comforting" is to recite an abstract laundry list of theoretical emotions everybody is going to go through, but most of all that, "We will get through this!1" right away even before anybody goes through the list.
