We had this yesterday. Everyone agreed if he lost at least 40 pounds...probably needs to lose more than that, then he would be a perfect choice.

I’d love to see him running the RNC...

If this is an example of *private* - keeping State secrets is gonna be child’s play.

The country’s proved it’s ready for a man named Barack. It might be said that Barack paved the way for Haley.

I like Governor Barbour, but if he's considering a 2012 run for the White House, he's got this to consider:

Is this the only warmed-over establishment Republican from the past they could dream up this week? There isn’t some Bush relative who attends all the right country clubs? One of Gerald Ford’s kids maybe? Bob Dole’s son-in-law?

I wasn't a Christie supporter here in NJ, but he has been getting some good marks and he is somewhat svelte.

Mike Pence is my favorite, but am interested in Barbour as well.

Is this country really that shallow? We’ve had big presidents before, like Taft. Since most people in this nation are either overweight or obese, wouldn’t they identify with a portly man? We could do a lot worse than Governor Barbour, although Sarah is still my pick.

We shall see. Barbour vs. Obama. We will see who the American Public wants.

Best resolution?....Sarah Palin as Secretary of Energy in a Barbour/Daniels or Barbour/Ryan administration. Drill here, drill now, in Alaska and in the Gulf.

Id love to see him running the RNC...
When he did run the RNC, many moons ago, is when I became a big fan.....he ran circles around the 'Rats and tended to have them running over cliffs like lemmings.

Not sure what your point is. Haley could also fit in big shoes as he has also had several years of executive experience.
I like Haley Barbour a lot.
I'll take him any day over Romney.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
When asked about his presidential ambitions, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour told reporters earlier this year that If you see me losing 40 pounds that means Im either running or have cancer." Huckabee redux, IMO: Southern-fried cornpone and chicken on the church grounds after revival meeting = not generally electable on a national basis.

I like Haley Barbour a lot. I'll take him any day over Romney. If that's what our choice comes down to in 2012, I'll be right there with you.
The point I tried to make is that it's going to be tough for anyone to beat Sarah, if she runs.

Actually, I think he said that if you saw that he had lost 40 pounds he was either running or he had cancer.
That did not go over well.
I thought it was funny.

Sarah won’t run. The heat is too hot in that kitchen, and she likes making money.
I don’t particularly like her, but between her and Romney? I’d take Barbour.

Sarah wont run. The heat is too hot in that kitchen, and she likes making money. That's akin to matter-of-factly stating that the moon is made of green cheese. It's your opinion, and nothing more. State it like that, if you want to be taken seriously.
Right now, you just look like a Democrat party apparatchik.
