I was really hoping that if it's not Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee in 2012 might be Haley Barbour. Talk about an eminently winnable matchup.
Faced with the prospect of squaring off in 2012 against the first African American president, some Republicans are begging the Governor of Mississippi to stay out of the running. According to Politico’s Mike Allen, ‘a handful of well-known Republicans’ will reach out to Gov. Haley Barbour (R) and ‘urge him, for the good of his party, to run for chairman of the Republican National Committee rather than the party’s nomination for president, as he currently plans.’
And thus ends the Boss Haley For President Campaign, I think.
