no haley barbour, sorry
The RINO Herding instinct has kicked in.
The RNC is not going to change no matter what figurehead they put up.
One Problem with the “big Plan”.
VOTERS. Sorry Haley.
Great RNC Chair, but Presidential Candidate....NO
Because it’s oh so smart to put an old white Southern man against Obama. Sheesh, why not just re-recruit Bob Dole and get it overwith.
Thoughts?
A complete slander of a guy who worked his ass off here in WI to change a State from blue to red.
I thought they would do this, but hey, Barbour already has been gored in the media.
They must Zero for another term at this rate.
Barbour nor Palin can win in this political climate. There are better choices yet to come to the forefront. jmho
Who the f**k is Riehl and why should we believe whatever crap he is putting out? The GOP establishment wanted Cino, including Boehner and Jeb Bush and Karl Rove. Better Priebus than Cino or Steele.
I’ll take this talk of Barbour running when I see he has lost 50 pounds.
With the media fixated on Palin for two years and now Barbour volunteering for suicide mission, the media will be focusing on red herrings for months.
Should be very entertaining.
Their continuing problem now is how to separate Palin's legion of supporters from her and to get them to go for Barbour, if this is indeed their plan. I don't see it happening, and they may be taking too much for granted.
Well, yes. It’s clearly a backroom deal. Barbour said, “I’ll support you for RNC chair if you support me for POTUS.” Barbour may be relatively conservative, but he’s been a political insider all of his life, wheeling and dealing with the best of them.
Let’s just hope it somehow works out for the country’s good. Because this is our last chance.
It's shameful that you keep echoing trash like that.
Reminds me of all the blind quotes ripping on Sarah Palin.
“Priebus Poised To Fast Track Barbour’s 2012 Presidential Bid (Back room deal?)”
No GOP operative ever made, or any combination of them, could fast track, slow track or half track Haley Barbour’s way to the GOP nomination. Haley Barbour makes Bob Dole look like Ronald Reagan.
This may be Barbour’s grand strategy, but like so many big plans of the Establishment, it won’t get off the ground. It is a pipe dream, nothing more. This Yazoo City turnip has less appeal than the jalopy he fell off of.
There’s a serious lack of useful information on this thread.
