Could Nikki Haley be the next Sarah Palin? Hmmm:
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) on Thursday didn't rule out possibly running as a vice presidential candidate in 2012.
Haley, the newly elected conservative governor of the Palmetto State, left the door open to rounding out the party's ticket next fall, in a fairly stock answer in which she embraced her current role as governor.
"I think I am very aware that I am the flavor of the month, which is what happens in politics," she said on the Mike Gallagher radio show. "And I will tell you, they need to focus on the top of the ticket."
Her supporters already think she's "Ronald Reagan in a skirt." And after a mere 100 days in office, she gave herself an "A+++ absolutely!" for being the best governor evah! And the teabaggers love her. Or at least, they did last November.
Plus, she's got that whole chick thing going for her. Plus, she's an Indian-American, which would no doubt prove, once and for all, that the teabag wing of the Republican Party is totally not racist. Plus, Eric Erickson thinks she's "just so awesome." Plus, even though Mitt Romney apparently has his eye on her for his never-gonna-happen ticket, she's already smacked him around for his socialistic Romneycare. And, perhaps best of all, she was spotted playing on her iPad while listening not listening to a speech by President Obama, which only helped shore up her dissing the president credibility with her Obama-hatin' base.
Now all she needs is a knocked-up teen-age daughter, a canceled reality TV show, and an unfinished term in office to seal the deal.
