Haley Barbour Isn't Running

One less clown in the clown car. Awwww.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) announced on Monday that he will not seek the presidency in 2012, saying that his supporters "deserve no less than absolute fire in the belly from their candidate. I cannot offer that with certainty, and total certainty is required."

"I will not be a candidate for president next year," Barbour wrote in a statement. "This has been a difficult, personal decision, and I am very grateful to my family for their total support of my going forward, had that been what I decided."

Besides, Trump has taken up the Brazen Race-Baiter slot. Not that there's only room for one, but they'd certainly step on toes.
