Anybody who knows anything about current events today, the state of the national GOP, the 2002 election, and pretty much anything about politics would know why he would be a good candidate.
Ok, again, the 2002 election is an excuse for why Barnes lost, not why he'd be good in 2008.
Newsflash - Just because things aren't that great now and the national GOP isn't where it once was doesn't mean they'll be losing in states that are increasingly more Republican.
Keep making weak points like "Uh, basically if you know about politics you know why he'd be totally awesome." You're only proving that you have no susbstance.
