Politics with Haley Barbour

In 2003 Haley Barbour was elected governor of Mississippi, becoming only the second Republican governor since Reconstruction. In 2007 he won reelection to a second and final term. Since June of last year, Governor Barbour has served as chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

Will the GOP recapture the House once again this year? The Senate? How many of the 37 gubernatorial races will the GOP win? Haley Barbour offers his political insights on the November elections. He further describes why he believes that Barack Obama represents "the biggest lurch to the left in American political history," and responds to where he'd like to see the Republican Party stand on issues ranging from Obama Care and immigration to the Ground Zero mosque. Finally, he analyzes his own prospects as a presidential candidate in 2012 and the chances that he will run.

No. Not Barbour. Not for president. I've been listening to him for 8 years and... well... he hasn't seemed to do much for me. Mississippi's education STILL sucks, our teenagers are still getting pregnant due to the near-ban on proper sex education (props to Barbour for at least making it an OPTION anyway).

No, no thank you. The best part of him running for president would be that we could get a better governor. Maybe. Hopefully? I hope it's not another lesser of two evils election.

@MultiUniv3rsal We will see my friend. Well I guess you do not work or run a business. We still have a second amendment also.

I am hoping he runs and gets the gop nomination I think he would make a great president or at least he would be better than what we got now!!!!!!!!!!

Im a staunch liberal but I love Haley Barbour. Even though I disagree with him on monst things he is an intelligent affable guy. If only more Republicans weren't like him.....

@MultiUniv3rsal So what do you intend to do when there is nothing left to steal?

[peezapai]

what a typical Marxist talking point. Since you're "winning" there seems to be no need for further critical thought, right?

@yakyakyak69 I'm on the side of the Marxist Redistributionists. We're winning. Get over it.
