Baton Rouge, La. - Governor Bobby Jindal's plans for the weekend have people thinking he may be interested in becoming the next Vice President of the United States.

Jindal plans to attend a two-day retreat designed to help presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney formulate campaign strategy.

More than a dozen Republican party leaders plan to attend the private retreat, including possible VP contenders.

Governor Jindal has said in the past he's not interested in running for vice president.
