Republicans are dispatching Gov. Bobby Jindal to some of the same towns that President Barack Obama is touring in Ohio and Pennsylvania to offer a rebuttal to the president’s remarks. Jindal is widely considered to be among those on the short list of candidates that GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney is vetting as a running mate. He’ll be joined by another Republican thought to be on that list: former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. Obama is departing today on a two-day bus tour of Ohio and Pennsylvania, offering a defense of his economic policies and his decision to rescue U.S. automakers; he’ll also likely raise further questions about Romney’s business record. Obama’s 250-mile Betting on America bus tour is taking him through several northern Ohio communities where he received strong support in 2008. The tour also will take him into western Pennsylvania with a stop in Pittsburgh.
