I happen to be around a lot of Indian Americans and my girlfriend’s sister-in-law is sikh and not a fan of Ms. Haley. She left her religion. Many sikhs hold a resentment for this and think it was mainly done for political reasons (aspirations and success). She can deny that she left sikhism as an adult for political reasons or whatever, but it’ll be hard to convince people it wasn’t strategic.

Bobby Jindal maybe able to break through on his religious conversion because he did it at the age of sixteen and you cannot say that a sixteen year old is doing it for political reasons. That is not to say there won’t be resentment for him leaving the Hindu faith.

Susana Martinez or Luis Fortunato seem to be better options for Mitt Romney
