RALEIGH, N.C. – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was in Raleigh Wednesday to speak to the state’s conservative base.

Jindal held a dinner talk entitled, “America: An Agenda for the Future.”      

He also attended two fundraisers for his gubernatorial re-election campaign: at the Charlotte headquarters for Baton Rouge-based Shaw Group Inc. and at the Umstead Hotel in Cary.

Jindal was frequently mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the 2008 election season, and conservatives have touted him as a possible 2012 candidate for the White House. The 37-year-old Jindal has denied interest in a presidential campaign.
