Closed primaries are the only way to get a true representative of the party in question.
Other overhaul ideas? Schedule of primaries?

Read the article. Actually I reacted to the “bourbon” comment most.
I guess so very many investors does make the intent a little less upsetting to me. It does make the lobbyist point very clearly, however.

Haley is my Governor and he has been 93% Conservative... but I will ONLY back him as Palin’s running mate... for Palin could teach Haley a thing or two about cleansing DC from his veins.

Accent can be effective with Northern Women. Sexy and Gentlemanly can be appealing in the rough political world.
Restaurant ownership and bourbon comments seem questionable, but not terrible. ( see comments by Covenator posted above)

I can be a reluctant voter to stop “O”...but can the party continue without the $ from all of us?
The 40% conservative poll of the country may start to get the “old boys” of the party thinking.

Everyone makes a mistake once in a while. I won’t hold that against him. He could have gone to a better school like Miss. State.

Then I say the southern states just secede already and I’ll move there from CA.
Then Haley can run.
To: Abbeville Conservative
I think he’d make a great potential VP candidate in 2012. Unfortunately I think his former lobbying is too large a political target for the dems if he runs for POTUS.

Haleys only real problem is his old time Deep South accent.
Nah, his real problem is that hes business partners with Terry McAuliffe and a few other dems and lobbyists in the Washington DC restaurant, the Caucus Room since the Clinton years.
So whose interests is he serving?
And he beleives emminent domain should be used to take private property for use by a private enterprise (such as a shopping center or manufacturing plant.)
That’s a deal killer for me.
As someone said, we got Bobby next door and we’re talking about Haley Barbour? That’s like nominating Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan. What kind of idiots would do that? Oh wait, the Republican idiots.

Haley Barbor is one of Americas best governors and a strong conservative. Unfortunately his time may have past. He would have been a better choice in 2008. There are youthful, new blood conservatives out there like Palin and Jindal that can and need to be the new face of the Republican Party. This comes from someone who voted for and financially supported Fred Thompson in 2008 so I dont mind a seasoned candidate, its just that the Republican party needs a new look at this point in time. Im fully behind Sarah unless she decides not to run. I to voted for Thompson, as did about 70% of Freepers.
Haley could be to Sarah as Cheney was to Bush. Political ballast.
Palin/Barbour 2012.
