He may control the GOP beltway establishment, but who controls the voting GOP grassroots crowds?

I will enjoy the competition in the 2012 race and Barbour would be a great choice for sure much better than Gingrich his southern neighbor. He wears “Big Boy Pants” and could handle the media and Obama in any debate.
I like Barbour too.
He has stayed under the radar, quietly building a political base. He talks like an adult. He gives respectful counter arguments to the democrats.
He is not a bomb thrower, his rhetoric is reasoned, not emotional.
I have been active in the ‘voting grassroots crowd’ and Sarah Palin does not ‘control’ me. Nor does she speak for me.
I thought Palin might have a chance, but after the past few weeks I doubt she will even run and she would guarantee Obama’s second term if she is the nominee. She can be president of her following with the ‘in need of a Dr’ Laura as her VP.
Barbour actually has a chance to grow the party, as Reagan did, instead of shrinking it into 20% of irrelevant ranters.
