Is she selling the New South or auditioning for a 2016 presidential campaign spot?
Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina is generating buzz that she’d be in the mix for the Republican vice presidential spot in 2016, following her successful handling of the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds after the shooting deaths of nine African-Americans inside a historic Charleston church.
Appearing Wednesday at the National Press Club, Haley teetered between deflective and receptive to the VP talk, at first dismissing it as a way-too-early political exercise, given that 17 Republicans are still elbowing each other to win the Republican presidential nomination.
“I’m not wasting any energy or any time thinking about that because I’ve got too much to do,” she said after her speech. “I’m trying to continue to heal the state, we’re trying to get back on track because we lost time, getting ready for a legislative session. . . . I’ve got a son in middle school, I got a daughter who’s a senior in high school, I’ve a husband who just came back from Afghanistan.”
That said, “If there’s a time where a presidential nominee wants to sit down and talk, of course I will sit down and talk,” she added.
Since the Confederate flag debate erupted, Haley has seen her star rise on the national stage.

Good thing because she could never be elected for another office in SC!
Yeah, pulling down that flag will endear you to a lot of us.
Not.
The cowardly, but submissive,
sweetheart of the DNC, MSM, and GOPe.
Her gutless capitulation on the Rebel Flag leaves much doubt.
Whoever would take her on as VP is toast.
WHO is going to vote for a gal who doesn’t understand her culture? This is the whole problem with immigrants. Even first generation Americans often don’t get the culture.
A little early, don’t you think? McClatchy has an ulterior motive in this as they could give a damn who the best candidate for Repub VP is.
Since the Confederate flag debate erupted, Haley has seen her star rise on the national stage.

A shooting star maybe. You know, like the ones that plunge through earth’s atmosphere and burn out.
Haley’s comet eventually leaves a smoking crater somewhere.
Please not Nikki Haley - a nasty woman who has only contempt for our history. It wasn’t enough for her that the South lost and went through a rough period. No, she had to stick it to the South again and denied them even a battle flag. Were her parents citizens when she was born?
Nikki!
Give me my $100 contribution to your political campaign back!
What a mistake you are to those outside of S.C. and those inside who supported your campaign.
To me, that’s when I saw her star fading.
Nikki’s star was already heading down after her shocking endorsement of Romney in 2012. Our Tea Party candidate—NOT.
That’s right Nikki, you play us backward toothless barefoot rednecks for the rubes we are.
Like Jim Hodges and David Beasley, you dared to touch the third rail in South Carolina politics. Cowardice and stupidity have consequences. You’re not getting any support from this corner of the world ever again.
Graham - Halley 2016
that’s the ticket......
for dog catchers
Proven coward and surrender monkey. A door mat. A quisling. If she is or can become a drunk or closet homosexual, she is absolutely perfect as a member of the Republican nomenklatura.
I will sit out any ticket with Haley for VP no matter who heads it.
You are correct. She’s a mini Obozo only not as feminine.
