Barbour would be OK. Don’t know anything about Sanford. But, still prefer Mitt.
The economy has some problems. Mitt is obviously the best choice. He was very restrained by the MA Democrats, but I’m sure that he would be able to tell Pelousy and Reid what to do with themselves.
Look up Mark Sanford gov of S.C. on wikipedia. He’s willing to stand up to his Republican legislature when they get off track with spending.
“Mark Sanford brought live pigs into the House chamber Thursday to make a point about pork barrel spending but ended up with a bipartisan firestorm hot enough for a barbecue.
“Insulting” and “childish,” said House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville. “This is beneath the dignity of the Governor’s Office, and I am embarrassed for him.”
Minority Leader James Smith, D-Columbia, said, “I don’t know if (Sanford) has any credibility or reputation left that gives him any ability to lead.”
Adding insult to injury, one of the pigs promptly defecated on the marble floor of House lobby after Sanford put them down.
“Unfortunately, they weren’t housebroken,” Wilkins said.
The incident came a day after Sanford reacted angrily to the House’s rapid-fire override of all but one of his 106 budget vetoes, saying members acted recklessly.
