Haley Barbour Says He Won’t Run For President…
Surprising.
(The Hill) — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) took himself out of the running for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday.
Barbour surprised most observers by saying in a statement that he wouldn’t run for president in 2012.
“I will not be a candidate for president next year,” he said. “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.”
The Mississippi governor had been seen as a favorite by political observers for his long experience in Republican politics, having served as a chairman of the Republican National Committee and, most recently, as the chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) during the 2010 cycle. He is a strong fundraiser with a Rolodex filled with some of the most powerful names in GOP politics.

Like he had a prayer.
Note to Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R):
No shit !
Yeah, cause he had a chance/snark.
Good move Governor, now if only more of the others would do the same…
P.S. As a repub. he must not have been given the ok from the msm. They need to give the ok, for anybody to run/that’s a (fucken)snark.
Damn! I was looking forward to knowing who Pappy O’Daniel would hire on to be the braintrust of his administration.
There’s one down and about 10 more to go.

“….his long experience in Republican politics….”
I will automatically reject any candidate that comes with that on their resume’
Barbour coming out as a Global Warming Alarmist really hurt his chances.

His back ground as life long lobbyist is the stuff of Progressive Wet Dreams
only guy that knows how to keep the africans in line
Too bad for the United States but great news for us here in Mississippi. Haley has been a great leader here in the state. He almost single handedly wrested control of the legislature out of the hands of the Democrats. He is a great conservative mind, a powerful fundraiser and a knowledgeable strategist. The next Republican president will certainly enlist Haley to assist him.
This slack jawed yokel never stood a chance. I’m glad this fat hillbilly isn’t running.
The DNC just had to transfer a dozen or so opposition researchers.

I’m Sad!
ps: Who’s this Guy!….
Wow, a Republitard w/some good sense. He sure has some fat, short, stubby fingers. Just an observation.
Actually the guy did a good job during Katrina.
Good guy, saw he couldn’t win and narrowed the field for us. Shows he’s wise as well. Let us pray that Huck, Romney, Donald and Newt all display the same wisdom here shortly.
