Bringing divorce papers to your wife\u2019s hospital bed when she is battling cancer ain\u2019t gonna fly anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Haley Barbour is a popular two-term southern governor who is competent, likable and very connected in the Republican Party.  Barbour however has a history of being a hard hitting lobbyist back in the day and believe me by 2012 lobbyist will be the label of death.  Also education and standard of living in Mississippi is not something that anyone wants for the whole country.  Too bad because I like Barbour.<\/p>\n<p>Mitt Romney couldn\u2019t beat a fake Republican in 2008 and after everybody gets a taste of socialized medicine his failed Romney-care will rear its ugly head.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Huckabee is a nice man and even has a show on Fox News.  He is also an open borders, tax and spend RINO.<\/p>\n<p>Jeb Bush is a bit more complicated.  On the one hand no one in America named Bush could get 5% of the vote right now.  However if Obama totally screws up the \u201cOverseas Contingency Operations\u201d the Bush brand would be revitalized.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line is this folks; it\u2019s way too early to be making predictions (as Governor Sanford just showed us all).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making 2012 Presidential predictions this early is stupid but making them based on asinine logic is &hellip; <a title=\"Dumb and Dumber Predictions\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11995\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dumb and Dumber Predictions<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11995\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
