DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- It's been six months since voters handed Barack Obama the White House, and in the minds of a lot of Iowa activists that means only one thing: It's time to start the campaign again.

2012 already?

Yes, 2 1/2 years before Iowans gather for their first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses, early presidential campaigning has begun.

Potential Republican candidates who have visited the state include Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the GOP caucuses in 2008. More politicians have trips planned, starting with Nevada Sen. John Ensign on Monday, followed by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and another appearance by Huckabee.

Several other high-profile Republicans thought to be considering presidential runs, including Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, haven't visited Iowa since the election.

:puke:

by their rotten brains. Too bad the Planet is infested with this type of virus.

should be an absolute hoot!

I can't wait to see all of these clowns debate one another. Time to buy some stock in popcorn futures!

or something. He can't be serious can he?

Haley Barbour??

We do have to remember that he was the Chair of the RNC-he knows all the people with all the money and money talks as evident by McAuliffe running and probably winning the Va. Dem. nomination for Governor.

No matter your opinion of McCauliffe, he is a charismatic and fairly good looking character.

Haley Barbour could have a billion dollar war chest and there isn't a chance in hell he'd get the nomination and if he did, President Obama would be looking at a 45 state win, at minimum.

Of course, fundraising prowess means A LOT in politics. There have to be a few other things in place for $$$ to matter, though.

since the GOP is now dominated by the Loon faction, the Neo-Cons and she fits the typical Limbaugh GOP prototype. So Bachmann-Romney 2012 (sorry Jindal, you are too dark for the new GOP)

:scared:

What did Mommy Bush and Looney Tunes Michele create a hybrid spawn?!?!?!? Yikes!
