Barbour is too chubby to do well on tv.
Goodness after the fattest guy on Earth just finished House Speaker and a pretty fat Vice President, I think the United States would ignore a candidate being fat. I don't think that would be an issue. In fact, wouldn't he fit in more than a skinny guy in the U.S. We are quite fat as a whole.
Sorry, that's my assessment. Same with the ex-fatty Huckleberry. Also both have Southern accents. The media finds this cute on a Democrat but an example of racism on a Republican. Sad but true.
He's got no chance. It's down to Rudy, McLame, and Romney.
Duncan Hunter is fantastic on paper..."a conservative's dream!" :)... but, I also thought Allen was the Messiah a few months ago! :)...
The right candidate will not only have all the qualifications on paper, but It will have the presence... and I pray to God, a bit of flair using the English Language... all those things will help catapult him to the top.
