Barbour, 'weighing' his options

A year ago, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS) said, "If you see I lose 40 pounds, you'll know I'm either running or got cancer.”

A Barbour adviser today told Politics Daily's Jill Lawrence that he’s about halfway there.

"He hasn't lost 40 pounds," the adviser said. "He might be halfway there. So read into that what you will."

Barbour, 'weighing' his options

Am I the only one who fell off their chair laughing my a@@ off at THAT headline?

Boss Hog can afford to lose at least 40 pounds and he still wouldn't be half the 'man' he used to be! lol

No one represents the pale male & stale crowd like good ol' Haley!

Good Grief,

If you don't like the man, can't you intelligently express why you disapprove of the him. Gov Barbour will either win or he won't, but why must you people insist on calling people you disagree with names and attacking them personally.

I get it, there are SOME people who have said horrible things about the president. BUT Feisty you and your cohorts need to GROW UP. What are you, two? I would really hate to run across your children, I am sure you raised them to be as mean and hateful as your are. Just because someone called the president some unflattering names, doesn't mean you should do it to everyone else. As my parents always told me calling people names and saying bad things about them only shows your lack of intelligence. If you continue to call everyone you disagree with names, we'll never get past this lack of civility in the country today. As I said before GROW UP. My 2 year old granddaughters are more mature than you.

    JoAnne, PA. I agree, I had a similar thought. I think Barbour's comments are insensitive but then he isn't known for sensitivity.

    Odd, "libbies" being accused of personal attacks on poor Gov Barbour, yet it was Barbour himself who made the initial remarks about his weight and how we would know if he decided to run in 2012.

      #3.8 - Tue Feb 8, 2011 9:33 PM EST

      Well Edward, he redirected $600M in post-Katrina aid originally intended for people whose homes were destroyed in the income, using it for port improvements instead. He's tried to claim segregation wasn't the problem everyone claims and credits the segregationist White Citizens Council for keeping the peace in the area where he grew up. He made his fortune as a Washington Lobbyist, mostly for the tobacco industry and groups fighting environmental protection.

      For me that's enough.

          FR, Mark M. win for best headline today! It is almost mid February and no republicans have actually said they are running in 2012. They best hurry, time's a wastin' in Iowa.

          Barbour's weight won't be the only problem he has, there's video of his "out of touch" concept of the South pre-civil rights legislation era--that bit of revisionism means either Haley Barbour lived under a rock (visiting the south myself when in 6th grade, I saw the "colored" and "whites" signs, saw the segregation, the poverty, the prejudice) or he prefers to disregard the facts for something that paints Southern whites more favorably during that era.

          That would be the BlueBloods that you guys hate so much. We understand that you always wish to blame everything on the Republicans.

          We heard the Same thing about Lincoln. and the Republicans back when Republicans Fought to Free the Slaves. that its not the Same Party. you keep telling us that we wish to go back to the those days. Then in During the Civil Rights Period. Again it was REpublicans that were the ones LEADING THE FIGHT against Democrats keeping Black people down. .. now here we are 45 years later and you are telling us . Its not the Same party . .

          We understand that its a Theme you Libbies keep Spouting. for over 150 years Republicans have been fighting to stop the Enequities. but the libbies keep saying we are nto the Same party, or those Democrats are now the Republicans. WE GET IT. its the only way you can revise history..

          Please Continue to vote Democrat. they need you as their voting Slave..

                Jody I grew up in the south and the only signs I saw was the sitting on the back of the bus, different neighborhoods and one sign out side Copper Hill Tennessee. So yes, if you were in back woods south there may have been signs like you describe, but in Atlanta in was not so overt. I never saw a sign that said whites only. I did see signs that said no minors and I did ask why are miner's prohibited. So as a child I was shielded from all of those signs. Some things were not spoken in front of children.

                I think that as long as people see today's issues as black against white then we have been divided and have been conquered.

                Of all the people whose posts I've ever read on here in the last two years, Jody is easily about the furthest you can get from being a liar. And if you think you can bully her into disappearing, you're going to be very disappointed.

                By the way, your posts are a prime example of why I never vote to collapse comments.

                    Salt Grass. I was in Arkansas. I saw the signs on drinking fountains, they were clearly marked. I remember it so well because I started to get a drink from the "Colored" one--the relatives we were visiting stopped me. I asked what difference it made, water was water. Their response was that the colored people would object. Sure, they would. I was old enough to know what they really meant. Iowa had been desegregated since the late 1860's.

                    Clara, I'll do that, thanks.

                      When you call someone a LIAR and its the Truth. its not being Hateful its being Truthful..

                      Honesty comes within oneself. Jody Knows she is a Liar. she is the one that has to Live with it.

                      She has to get up Every Morning and look herself in the Mirrow knowing she is a Liar.. She needs to start Being Honest with herself. thats where it starts.. Not with you guys Defending her

                        Stevie you are such a little man - all I can say is if I had the (displeasure) of EVER meeting you in person - I would take those little 'nuggets' that are passing for your balls these days - and kick them up to something that would pass for earrings!

                        Stevie - you are a small petty person who's only outlet is to pleasure themselves! Put on some 'crocs' and have at will ya?

                        Salt Grass, what time frame are you talking about in Atlanta? My husband grew up there in the late 40's and 50's and he vividly remembers seeing those signs.....in Sears, in the theatres, in train stations and buses. If the family housekeeper took him to a movie, they had to sit in the balcony as blacks were not allowed to sit in the orchestra seats. Yes, segregation was alive and well during those times. Eventually the signs disappeared, but the mindset didn't right away, as time has passed, Atlanta has grown up and for the better. It is now one of my favorite cities.

                        Jody, you are right, you would most certainly have seen those signs in Arkansas, we only have to remember Governor Faubus, and his opposition to desegration 1957 at Little Rock HS there were signs there then and for a long time afterwards. Those were ugly times, we have come a ways, but I dont think Haley Barbour has completed that journey.

                        Jody, you have the right attitude, some people are just not worth bothering with. Those who know you here, know your character and your worth. Small minded people tend to try and bring down everyone they cant' get the better off, usually resorting to shouting and insults, a clear sign they have lost the argument.

                        I am not saying that Jody was wrong, I am just trying to point out everyone has a different view of back then. I did not see the 40's and lived in the country in the 50's and was not exposed to much of anything except a dirt road. My experience happen in the 60's and I realized changed did not come over night. as I stated many things were not said and it was not overt. Atlanta did have Ax handle Maddox in my time, but we avoided the violence that marked many cities back then. My parents taught me to respect people and I belived the words in the song "Jesus loves the Little Children".

                          Okay New Day,

                          Now, finally, a comment you can expand on.

                          What exactly will be Halley's platform and why is it not a good platform. What are his credentials?? Any military service?? Let's get specific, shall we??

                            What is any of the GOP platform? And better yet what is the teaparty platform since they obviously don't agree with the GOP platform? Remember you get what you vote for! So you better know what it is!

                            We don't elect fat or bald in this era, but the many allusions to NJ governor Chris Christie's weight made by Jon Corzine during the campaign seemed to have the opposite effect on public opinion. Making "light" of someone's weight tends to turn that person into the real "heavy"...

                              Look at the mess the teaparty has caused the republicans! The media is helping! Why is it that when a party gets a majority in congress as is now in the house, the other side doesn't defeat their policies, they do. Always.

                                Someone needs to step up to the plate. The clock is ticking. They need to put some old spare tire out there that knows he isn't going to run so he will be attacked by Palin and Bachman. One year to the primary and noone is running yet. I should be their manager. Duh! And if they can't figure that out what do they think they will do when running the country. Or this time they can just take a pass.
