Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who's contemplating a 2012 presidential run, will be dispensing political advice to congressional Republicans this weekend during their private retreat in Baltimore.

Barbour spokesman Dan Turner said the governor flew Thursday from Mississippi to the nation's capital.

"He's got kind of a mixture of meetings in Washington," said Turner, adding that some meetings are for state business and some are for politics.

Barbour and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among the potential presidential candidates speaking during congressional Republicans' three-day retreat.

Barbour and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich

The vultures are gathering.

As much as I like Barbour, I am afraid the liberals will go nuts with the “he is a good ol suthern racist BS”

I hope he does run, and shames them.

While Nagin was yammering about a “chocolate city” and asking for federal handouts Barbour rolled up his sleeves and rebuilt the Mississippi gulf.

Barbour uses affirmative action, only he handles it from the opposite end.

The MSN dose not cotton to the self reliance thing.

[mylife]

Yeah, what a pity.

[mylife]

Look at what they are doing to Sarah.

[lonevoice]

Yep. Just heard ol’ Newty on Greta’s show saying he was going to speak at the retreat about, wait for it, a guest worker program. Blurgh.

[oyez]

They a irrational fear of Sarah. Call it palinphobia, if you will.

[mylife]

New yawkahs have an inherent fear of being close to reality.

They cant understand a self sufficient type.
The horror of doing for ones self in a stripped down world.

When the words “GOP Retreat” are together “retreat” is a verb.

[org.whodat]

I wouldn't worry about that, I would worry about mr k street, ken lays boy, Phil Grammy, he's there to get them to raise the debt limit. And not attach anything to it. Screwing America as aways.

I worry about all of them. The story I keep thinking about is Hercules and the Augean Stables. Someone sure needs to come along and clean it all out.

Thanks for the ping!

I would love to hear him speak! More than that, I would love to hear him debate Obama. That would be so much fun to watch!

I hope you will ping us after this upcoming speech.
