Barbour heads CPAC

Starting Lineup: Start Your Engines

Good Friday morning and welcome to the Starting Lineup. On the radar today: The Iowa GOP sets the date for its presidential straw poll and a coinciding debate; Haley Barbour heading to CPAC; a potentially potent “Draft Sarah Palin” group registers with the FEC; Baron Hill passes on the Indiana governor’s race and Jay Nixon lays the groundwork for his 2012 re-election bid in Missouri.

A quick scheduling note: The Starting Lineup will be going dark for the holidays starting next Monday. We wish you all a happy holiday season and we’ll be back after the New Year.

Be sure to stay tuned to Hotline On Call, though, as we’ll be rolling out several “Year In Review” features.
