The Barbour Conspiracy
I have this theory. Some obscure Republican who wants to be president is undermining every other potential candidate for 2012.
Just since January, we´ve seen the following.
Bobby Jindal´s singsong State of the Union response (not fatal, but definitely damaging, especially combined with his claims to exorcisms. His star has faded considerably).
Jon Huntsman´s acceptance of the ambassadorship to China.
John Ensign´s affair (not that he was a major candidate but he thought he was)
Mark Sanford´s implosion.
Sarah Palin´s resignation.
Someone must be behind this. What´s next? Will Romney´s hair catch on fire? Will Huckabee regain all his lost weight and die of a heart attack?
Who could be behind all this? Perhaps Mr. Charisma, Tim Pawlenty. I´m betting on Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour though. It all makes sense. If everyone else is out, it has to be Barbour!
Update--I totally forgot about Barbour´s latest strike. Recent rumors have Florida Governor Charlie Crist possibly moving to the Democrats. This is because he isn´t going to win the primary for Senate, and he´s not a realistic presidential candidate in 2012, but his name has been mentioned. If Barbour is taking out all possible contenders, he´s not going to leave Crist untouched!!!
