Spin it however they want, Barbour is a serious loss.

The departure of Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman and governor of Mississippi who volunteered in 2011 with his fundraising connections to boost American Crossroads’ drive to defeat President Barack Obama, comes at a sensitive moment for the super PAC and for Crossroads GPS, its tax-exempt advocacy arm.

After devastating losses in 2012, the two groups are revamping their operations and launching a new affiliate that plans to spend millions of dollars in GOP primaries to knock off certain conservative candidates that the group considers unviable — an effort that quickly sparked a firestorm on the right.

Haley was a WINNER...helped to bring about the Gingrich takeover in 1994 with his TV show GOPTV and he was on every TV show espousing conservatism. Rove is a POS who espouses ROVE....and puts down conservatives.

Barbour is the guy who pardoned convicted murderers because they cut his grass. He is no big loss to anybody

Barbour WAS a conservative at one time. I think he has strayed a long way off of the reservation.

I’ll give the guy the benefit of the doubt—possibly he’ll return to his roots and regain some of the integrity that he was beginning to lose.

I just went to read the whole thing. It almost sounds like he could be pizzed that they showed their hand too soon, the way it’s worded. Who knows, the way Republican establishment is acting these days.

Bump!

I hope Haley has felt some heat, and hope others are feeling the same.

Oregon Rep. Greg Walden is.
