He may decide to run but Haley Barbour is more the running mate type. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see a southerner with a conservative agenda as my president.

You did. He served from 2001 to 2009. His name was George W. Bush.

I don't consider George W. Bush to be a conservative. He did nothing to check spending, he did a horrible job securing the border, and he didn't have a conservative stance at all on education.

BTW, I fully expect him to run. I have for a long time. I'll be shocked if he doesn't.

As for Barbour, I think he fits the mold of what a true Conservative would like to see as the nominee. He has plenty of experience, he has shown good leadership skills (Katrina), and he's not afraid to fight with Democrats over the budget. (There's been plenty of that going on with the state House of Representatives).

I'm not going to vote for him just because, he's the governor of my state, but he's certainly on the list of candidates I'll consider thanks to his positions.
^ only negative is his accent. But there's no denying he has wanted to run for years now if you've spoken to him

That, his multiple gaffes and his status as a former TOBACCO LOBBYISST!
and Obama was an ACORN puppet...his work in katrina showed he is a good leader that can handle a national crisis, Obama never proved that and still hasn't

I'd appreciate, in your words, an explanation of what ACORN was and Obama's role with it.

Obama worked for them as a community organizer and all they were was a phony political organization to get guys like him in office. Can you prove they're a credible group?

"Phony political organization" is a pretty weak phrase.  They were indeed working to get people registered to vote, and you cannot by law not turn in a voter registration card if you're a registered deputy registrar in most places (I was one once).  Even if the guy writes down Mickey Mouse on his voter registration card, that's going in.  This is not voter fraud.  Mickey Mouse will not show up to vote on election day and his being a registered voter has no bearing on the election.

As far as getting "guys like him into office," all political advocacy organizations want sympathetic voices.

By the way, if you're going to bring up the pimp video, read this:  http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1888&

they registered people in multiple places...tending to be swing states to vote

Once again, you cannot discard a voter registration card even if you know it to be fraudulent.
