Season opener

Hey look the first of many clown shows happens tonight.

Gov. Bobby Jindal will be participating in his first Republican presidential candidates' forum tonight in New Hampshire. The event runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and features 14 candidates (though not Donald Trump.)

The event is being broadcast live on C-SPAN. The New Hampshire Union-Leader newspaper is streaming it live online here. The New Orleans-based WDSU will also carry the debate live on its website and mobile app, and then do a rebroadcast of the event at 10:35 p.m. on its television station.

Boo no Trump. But you do get to see something you won't see Thursday night which is Bobby Jindal on the same stage as Jeb and Walker and Rubio and the rest of the greater dwarves. Despite his campaign's attempts to generate a "surge" narrative in Iowa, Jindal still doesn't have what it takes to get on FOX's list that counts for the big show. So it's worth tuning in for that alone.
