Haley Barbour for President in 2012?
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
His reputation is on the rise, thanks to his post-Katrina successes in Mississippi. But Gov. Haley Barbour won't make a commitment to run for president in 2012, as some friends urge. Recalling some old advice he gave to candidates after President Clinton won, Barbour says Republicans should first focus on constituents and the 2010 midterm election. "What's good for the goose," he says, "is good for the gander." So should we come back in 2011 and ask? "If I'm still around," he says, not closing the door to a run.

Barbour is a smart, strong, charismatic figure. He is miles ahead of Romney, Palin, and Huckabee in terms of brains combined with positive personality characteristics.

President Barbour 2012
Haley 2012
Having met Governor Barbour and knowing he and his family for a long time being from his hometown of Yazoo City, MS, I KNOW Governor Barbour is just what America needs: his firm beliefs and ethics, his way of handling affairs and his classy and prestigious way of manner is what makes him qualified. He has turned Mississippi around and he, if he is willing, and America is ready for him to turn things around for the better.(just a tip: Palin/Barbour or Barbour/Palin 2012??? either one sounds PERFECT for me) WAY TO GO HALEY. Your friend!
