Barbour has a couple of strikes...he’s a white Southern conservative, running probably against Obama...also, Barbour was a big-time tobacco lobbyist...right now, this is Romney’s turn (via the arcane Republican thought process that has occurred for tooooo long)...magritte
White, Southern, and Conservative I feel good about. I would not mind lobbyist either. Tobbacco lobbyist is a problem. Too bad it wasn’t lobbying something worth while. I liked his pleasant disposition. and he seemed so knowledgeable, quick thinking, and articulate when he ran the RNC.
