With a 22-person media contingent outside, and only a handful of prospective voters inside, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour (edit R-moran) wasn't trying to conceal the message he was sending to New Hampshire voters as he wound down his first visit of the year as a prospective presidential contender.

The visit to Riley's Gun Shop in Hooksett underscored not only Barbour's support for Second Amendment freedoms, but also his affinity for the ideals embraced in the lead presidential primary state.

During a conversation with owner Ralph Demicco and, later, reporters against a backdrop of ammunition boxes, Barbour expressed his support for low taxes and aversion to government spending; for the right to keep and bear arms; and for the Granite State's conservative tradition.

"I told them outside, 'A lot of targets' – the liberal media," Barbour quipped to Demicco as the two chatted amid a pack of reporters, television, and still cameras.

1. Please keep him in Mississippi. Maybe the GOP there could save some $$ by cancelling his travel

budget.

2. Jpak, who's paying you to post propaganda in here?

Joyce foundation? Or some other group? NRA lol?

3. You mean he didn't kick off his campaign in Philadelphia Mississippi like R Reagan.

I'm betting his support for guns will go over big with the bigots attracted to Barbour.
