Reince Priebus is a Haley Barbour “hack”......I like Haley but the deal was struck behind close doors weeks ago to push Reince so that Haley can control the RNC to position himself as he runs for President
You may be right about that, but if so, there will be some serious fur flying, we will likely have a dozen presidential candidates.
If Preibus is aligned with the Tea Party, just how does Haley plan on doing this?

All of the choices for RNC Chair have problems, so the RNC loses, no matter who wins. That’s the message I’m getting.
Haley Barbour for POTUS! Best of the current alternatives.
I understand that he has criticized the tea party movement. If that is true he is in for a rude awakening.
I do not want Barbour to be President ever.
