Barbour has joined with Mitch Daniels in calling for us to drop social conservatism, he will attract a lot of the moderate crowd that can’t stomach Romney, or at least that don’t want to fight the Romney baggage at this stage.

Unless Barbour makes it clear that he supports life and will protect the traditional family, he can take a hike. What, we should vote for him because he's kind to oil companies? Please!

"Barbour has joined with Mitch Daniels in calling for us to drop social conservatism"

Whew, could you take him more out of context if someone paid you to do it?

This is EXACTLY what he said at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

"I'll put my bonafides up against anybody as a social conservative," he added, noting that as governor, Mississippi was voted the safest state in the country for an unborn child. "But that ain't going to change anybody's vote this year because people are concerned about job, the economy, growth and taxes... you are using up valuable time and resources that can be used to talk to people about what they care about."

emphasis added

Do you disagree with that statement? To quote Mr.s Carville and Begala, it's the economy stupid. That's ALL Barbour was saying.
