Jindal 2012!
And if the RNC is smart, they would give Jindal as much exposure as possible at this year’s convention. He is the rising star in the party.
John Thune 2012
For several years now I had been hoping Haley would run. Disappointed he didn’t. Guess I can settle for 2012.:-)
Haley is a great guy. He needs to put smooth stones in his mouth and practice articulation though. Very gravelly, heavily accented voice.
but 2012 is good.
let's work on him now!
please add me to to your Haley Barbour 2012 ping list if you have one.
(sorry about the spelling of your gov's name, but I'll have 4 years to work on the spelling :o) )
From Wiki:
He gained a national spotlight in August 2005 after Mississippi was hit by Hurricane Katrina. Since then he has been mentioned as a possible 2008 vice presidential candidate. Barbour has ruled out any desire to run for President, and has won re-election as Governor in 2007.[1] Under Mississippi's term limits, Barbour cannot run again for Governor in 2011 when his term ends.
We have three good conservative governors in the South, two proven and one up-and-coming—Barbour in Mississippi, Sanford in South Carolina, and Jindal in Louisiana. I’m just not sure, after Clinton, Bush, and Huckabee, if anybody is going to be ready for yet *another* Southern governor for President in 2012.

Not a bad guy, but Romney will undoubtedly be back for the 2012 race presuming McCain loses, and Romney will be the frontrunner in that particular contest.
Heck, McCain may not go for a 2nd term even if he wins this year.
Yeah, a fat, smarmy thane of the Bush clan who spent years as a Washington lobbyist.
Just what we need!
He’ll be fighting Romney for it.
I know, 2012 the voters will come their senses and elect a savior as President. Don’t count on it.
We absolutely need to be grooming some solid Conservatives for the next for years. Barbour is a good choice, but we can’t put all our eggs in one basket. We need to have a number of good, solid, credible conservatives who are able and willing to run a national campaign and to get elected. This holding our nose business has GOT to end.
The eventual full enactment of the Fairness Doctrine will help get rid of conservatism, including all of the “new media”, and the eventual full enactment of legislation which will allow illegal immigrants the right to legally vote in all future U.S. elections will also help to kill off the conservative movement. You think it’s bad now for conservatives? Wait until ‘12 becomes a reality and then see how difficult it will be for any conservative to win anything!
While I admire Barbour and am very pleased with his governance of Mississippi, I no not believe he is a viable candidate for POTUS. He would, however, be an excellent replacement for the bland Thad Cochran.
What I think too many are assuming is that will ever be another free election in this country.
The pattern in all nations that take the sort of hard left turn Obama and his administration will usher in is hold power at all cost.
Obama will be our very own version of Hugo Chavez.
I love Haley but I’m with Palin till I die....
She is hands down the best thing to hit conservatism since Magnus.
besides....I have it on authority Haley doesn’t care to try...
