Labrador Among GOP ‘Leading Lights’?

An article this morning on the Salon website , 10 Reasons Republicans Think Their Party’s Dysfunctional, includes Idaho GOP Congressman Raul Labrador’s Sunday appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press . The article features what Salon calls “some of the Republican Party’s leading lights” giving their reasons why the “party failed so miserably” in the Nov. 6 election. Author Adele Stain wrote that Labrador displayed “his neo-libertarian streak” at the Nov. 18 Meet the Press roundtable, suggesting “that the party’s problem is that it just talks the small-government, no-handout game, but when it comes to corporations, government and subsidies rule”/ George Prentice , Boise Weekly.

Question: Is it possible that Raul Labrador could become a national voice of conservatism a la Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or Marco Rubio?
