In another sign that he’s likely running for president, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour has hired Jim Dyke to work as a communications adviser on his political action committee.
The hiring of well-regarded staffers is typically seen as a sign that a prospective candidate intends to run, because the assumption is that top talent won’t join a team unless he or she has received private assurances that the candidate is likely to run.
Dyke has worn a number of hats over the years. In the 2004 election, he ran the communications department at the Republican National Committee and in 2008 he worked for Rudy Giuliani.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

I predict as much success for Barbour as Fred Thompson had in 2008. None.
The man is a RINO. If I want a liberal southern Republican then I can vote for Huckabee.

Barbour? no one cares

NO one cares........I CARE! Barbour [and many others] has the intellectual ability and political guts/courage to go toe to toe with HOPE/CHANGE GUY and to tell him who/what he truly is [and has been] in a non-political correct fashion. Barbour's professional experience as a politician, lobbyist, businessman [and yes, a LAWYER] is what is needed to call this president out publically. Since their are sadly still too many taxpayer-voters in this country who do NOT completely understand who/what this president has been, what he represents clandestinely, what his sympathies/prejudices are, etc; what is needed is someone who has the guts/courage to describe same to the American public in a detailed fashion for their use/understanding for their voting decision in November of 2012. Barbour [among others] has that ability!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
