BATON ROUGE, La. -- Gov. Bobby Jindal said Tuesday he enjoyed his meeting with Sen. John McCain, but insisted the two did not discuss the idea of Jindal serving as running mate to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Jindal spent the Memorial Day weekend at McCain's Arizona ranch, along with two other prominent Republicans who have been touted as possible running mates for McCain. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney were also there.

"There was absolutely no discussion of the vice presidency, either joking or serious," Jindal said.

Though he characterized the visit as "primarily a social visit," Jindal said he did speak with three U.S. senators who were also visiting McCain's ranch about Louisiana's hurricane recovery needs and with several business leaders present about Louisiana's economic development incentives.

Jindal, the son of Indian immigrants and the nation's youngest sitting governor, repeatedly has tossed aside rumors he could be McCain's running mate, though he's met with McCain and been touted by several prominent conservatives as a good candidate.

"It's very flattering, but I'll say again, I've got the job that I want," he said, echoing past statements.
