Haley Barbour made a principled decision today not to run for President. He said that "A candidate for President today is embracing a ten-year commitment to an all-consuming effort, to the virtual exclusion of all else. His or her supporters deserve no less than absolute fire in the belly from their candidate," he added. "I cannot offer that with certainty , and total certainty is required."
Gov Barbour could have made a run or it in his home state of Mississipi. Without him in the race, it is just one more positive step for the soon-to-be Huckabee campaign. Without Barbour on the ballot, Mississipi should easily complete the solid south for Huckabee.
If Gov. Barbour would now throw his support to Gov. Huckabee, that would be another great step as he is well known for his fund-raising prowess. Pairing that ability with Huckabee's personality and positions and you have a very strong force indeed.
I hope many of his supporters will join in the grass roots movement to see Mike Huckabee elected. I hope Gov. Barbour will support another principled candidate in Mike Huckabee... oh and if he wants to bring his rolodex, that would be fine too! :)
