Haley Barbour is a first rate Gov, (look at Mississippi’s recovery from Katrina vs La.) who is a solid conservative and republican and if he runs he would without a question be the most qualified candidate in the field.
Don’t get me wrong I absolutely think Sarah Palin is awesome, her willingness to take on this administration when others would not is very important and absent Barbour I would without a question support her, but if he is in the field on primary day I can’t see how I can support her over him and of course a Barbour/Palin ticket would be incredible, particularly since Palin still being a young woman (in terms of presidential politics) could easily do two terms afterwords. Palin would also excel in the traditional vice presidential role of speaking for and defending conservative politics and principles of such an administration
Joe mentions that a white Mississippi governor running against Barack Obama is going to be treated like Bull Connor by the MSM, the NAACP et/al, but then again any candidate running against Obama will be treated as such. That is true but the media has overdrawn on both the race card and their credibility account so I wouldn’t worry about it.
