Haley Barbour and Newt Gingrich both showed stronger rises in this pol that did Palin.
I have no idea who will be campaigning for the nomination, but once they are all in, I will be settling on the most conservative electable candidate. I hope that person is Sarah Palin but at this point if this were the field, she simply would not be.
Haley Barbour is my size. Do you really see the voters wanting a Deep South, Foghorn Leghorn sounding lobbyist to replace the first black president™ in 2012? Newt Gingrich? A serial philanderer is a non-starter with most Republican voters.
