Gov Haley Barbour: GOP "Dark Horse" in '08?

Fire of Liberty

James P. Pinkerton has an interesting column in yesterday's edition of Newsday on the possible GOP "dark horse" nominee in 2008. While the MSM carries on about Rudy, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, McCain, Hagel, Pataki and countless others, they tend to forget Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi. It seems the Governor won a final four on the Internet and was presented as a hottie for 2008 by US News & World Report. I haven't thought about '08 but I could see Barbour as a candidate. He's got the Reagan White House credentials, GOP/Money contacts, He's a governor from the South. The most reassuring thing about Barbour is this:
And indeed, others in the limited-government wing of the party are high on Haley. Grover Norquist, the Republican/libertarian strategist, is neutral in the '08 race but nonetheless volunteers, "Haley is a Reagan Republican's dream. He has Friedrich Hayek in his library and Lee Atwater and Karl Rove in his veins." That is, Barbour combines the book smarts of a famed free-market economist with the street smarts of leading political operatives.
Sounds good to me, I'd prefer Dick Cheney to make a go at it in '08. Anything is possible.
