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.

I guess you're in the minority then.

No chance. Period.

Palin came out of the 2008 election rebuilding the demoralized conservative movement, her first big efforts were displayed in the December following the election, for a long time it was Palin alone, and then the movement started growing and Republicans have made massive gains in winning national favor and energy.

Palin has been more responsible for this than any other single individual, your statement is absurd in the face of the facts of the last two years. Palin is gaining for the party and this female voter push recently is something that conservatives have dreamed of for decades.
