New Delhi: Republican presidential candidate John McCain will be campaigning in New Orleans later this week and sources say he will be meeting Vice-Presidential aspirant and Orleans Governor, Bobby Jindal.

This suggests that McCain is in the process of picking his second-in-command and that the youthful Jindal is under serious consideration.

Some reports indicate that McCain will announce his vice presidential pick by the end of this week.

If McCain picks Jindal, it would mean a major symbolic step in fundamentally re-branding the Republican party. Jindal, an Indian-American, would put a whole new face on a party that is widely seen by voters as controlled by old white men.

Meanwhile, his opponent US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is in Israel for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.

His visit began just hours after a Palestinian rammed a bulldozer into vehicles on a busy Jerusalem street near the hotel where the Democratic candidate will be staying.
