Yesterday, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour entered the climate fray, front and center, taking the role of key GOP witness in Senate hearings on the subject.
The New York Times says the party's still looking for its go-to-guy on the issue, and Barbour might be the one to pass the ball to. But his critics say close ties to large energy interests in the past make him a flawed messenger.
Regardless of arguments, it was Barbour who was making the argument yesterday:
It is hard to believe that at a time when growing our economy is our No. 1 priority, Congress is considering a bill that would reduce economic growth.
