Haley Barbour … I mention him when asked about my 2012 thoughts
Politico writers Jim Vandehei, Andy Barr, and Kenneth P. Vogel do an assessment of Haley Barbour calling him “The most powerful Republican in politics.”
Read the article and find out why. This is one of the reasons he’s on my “watch” list …
At the moment, Barbour’s power is derived from his ability to tilt gubernatorial and statehouse races with his RGA funds. These races might not be as sexy as some of the star-studded races for Senate or as dramatic as the battle for control of the House. Yet they could prove even more important over the long haul because they will create the next generation of Republican leaders — and set the terms for the decennial redrawing of House seats.
