Have the Republicans found their Obama?

It seems to be more than a coincidence that the Republicans are once again putting Bobby Jindal against Obama on primetime. They did it after Obama's First Congressional address, now they've done it again, after his second press conference. Are the Repubs trying to out Obama, Obama? First by voting for an African American to chair the Party, now by placing Jindal in the spotlight. Similarities to Obama? Jindal is both young and colored. I guess in this way they imagine they can steal the thunder of Obama's novelty to the youth generation. This is really superficial though, they seem less interested in changing their ideology. Do they imagine that by 'changing' their image, people will somehow imagine they are not an immigrant bashing Party interested in perserving the status quo for Rich White Males?
