Not sure how this “guarantees” Obama’s re-election? Barbour is a capable guy. He certainly handled Katrina better than that chick that quit as governor of Louisiana.

He certainly knows politics, was part of the Reagan team in the 80s and is a disciple of Lee Atwater. He has many disadvantages but would he be a better candidate than Palin?

Probably.

Haley Barbour took Mississippi, where entire cities and towns WERE the actual focus of Katrina, and rebuilt. He got his hands dirty and got his folks together to get it done.

I remember speaking with a woman in MS just after Katrina. Tough old bird. And she was just plain redoing her life. No whining. No ‘poor me’. Oh, her voice quivered sometimes. But then she was off, talking about getting a new batch of wood planks. Steel.

'If you see me losing 40 pounds that means I'm either running or have cancer,'

Tasteless comment smart a$$. You are already toast.

Well if he did run I’d vote for him. He won’t run though, he’s smarter than that, he knows he would have a slim chance. But I like him allot.

Barbour could beat Obama. Sounds like you’ve already chosen someone else.

Yeah, after watching my Dad decompose from terminal in front of my eyes, cancer isn’t a recommended diet plan.

But, the chemo treated did make his hair grow in better than it had been in decades so that was a positive, right Haley?

What a dick.

Why a “recipe for Obama’s re-election?”

The guy in the woodpile that we have to watch out for is Michael Young. He’s so busy promoting himself, he forgot he’s supposed to be working for the Republican Party. Young will be a spoiler, mark my words. +

“cancer” should be in between “terminal” and “in”.

OK. I give. I'm a political junkie and I have no idea who Michael Young is.

"Tasteless comment smart a$$. You are already toast.

Actually it comments like yours that are tasteless, it was a joke. In fact a joke most people would find enjoy, and means that he probably would not run. Gees, you obviously don't live in the South.

My dad died of lung cancer just a few years ago. I thought Barbour's line was hysterical. Leave the thin skin for the liberals. It fits them better.
