But my bet is that the next Republican nominee will be Haley Barbour. But I would like to know what if any undesirable baggage he has.

Barbour's baggage is his very successful career as a lobbyist. That really doesn't bother me, but lobbyists are less popular than even trial lawyers.

Believing anything from the Boston Globe.

The Boston Globe has NOTHING to do with it.

Myth is the one who forced Hillary/Myth Care on the people of Massachusetts and Myth is the one who bragged about it this weekend.

Barbour has a couple of strikes...he’s a white Southern conservative, running probably against Obama...also, Barbour was a big-time tobacco lobbyist...right now, this is Romney’s turn (via the arcane Republican thought process that has occurred for tooooo long)...magritte

You responded to a post about Sarah. And I didn’t bring up Romney.
You and some of the others are so angry about the situation it is difficult to have a rational discussion with you.

Here’s a long range one for everyone — it’ll be Romney-Gingrich on the ticket in 2012.

Heh heh...

I voted for Mitt on Super Tuesday only because I disliked him less than McCain. After taking the cheap shot yesterday at our beloved Sarah he wont get my vote again.

White, Southern, and Conservative I feel good about. I would not mind lobbyist either. Tobbacco lobbyist is a problem. Too bad it wasn’t lobbying something worth while. I liked his pleasant disposition. and he seemed so knowledgeable, quick thinking, and articulate when he ran the RNC.

You only think he bragged about it because the Boston Globe presented it that way.

Whatever, Myth has been bragging about Hillary-RomneyCare for years.

Palin stands an excellent chance of getting the nomination in 2012 against a bunch of rinos who will split the moderate Republican vote. However, she has been trashed badly by the media, and it will be difficult for her to be a strong candidate in the General (think Quayle).

Whenever I see that picture, I see Mitt as the patsy that doesn’t know that everyone is laughing AT him instead of WITH him.
