Yesterday, Haley Barbour <a href=\"http:\/\/michellemalkin.com\/2011\/04\/25\/haley-barbour\/\">announced that he won&#8217;t run<\/a> for the presidency next year, while <a href=\"http:\/\/gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com\/2011\/04\/crazy-ron-paul-still-blames-the-us-for-islamic-extremism-video\/\">Ron Paul announced<\/a> that he will announce his candidacy today. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think Barbour did much for the GOP by running. Intellectually, he&#8217;s about the same as Newt Gingrich (who I&#8217;ll never support) and although I think he never got enough credit for 1994 revolution, I don&#8217;t think his was a serious candidacy despite what the navel-gazing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/with-barbour-out-new-questions-for-2012-gop-field\/2011\/04\/25\/AFR1kalE_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a> says.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to a Paul campaign because it&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been told to &#8220;read a book&#8221; as a discussion point. Let&#8217;s see if the basement-dwelling denizens will act like pompous, arrogant fools like they did four years ago and turn off 99% of the voting public. I&#8217;ll be interested to see if 1% of the primary votes translate into the candidate&#8217;s inevitable success.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you go to the Gateway Pundit link above, you&#8217;ll notice Dr. Paul, the brainiac, still blames the US for Islamic extremism &#8211; so that much remains the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the GOP field of candidates is filling out.
