One word. HALEY. We will not have a president named Haley unless its a girl. Sorry but that is politics.

Are you serious? Think "Haley's Comet," and not some over-the-hill English actress who starred in Disney films three or four decades ago.

Names do matter in politics which is why I knew GORE would not win. But a first name of Haley is a girl's name and an impediment to the presidency? No way. I'll grant you some "modern day parents" have taking to naming their girls Haley, but they've not hi-jacked the name to feminism entirely.

His full name is Haley Reeves Barbour, and I'll bet that were he a democrat governor, many babies would be named after him. Heck, some smart parents still might.

Now, I'll grant you we'll not ever elect a president or a mayor named walkingfeather. :)

My wife and I are having a girl...maybe we should name her Haley? ;-)
(Wait! Isn't that the name of Eminem's kid too? On second thought....)
