Haley, who is Indian-American, is just the sort of fresh face Republicans need to show that they are not simply a party of and for old white men. Haley still needs to get past state Sen. Vincent Sheheen (D), about whom we hear great things, this fall. But assuming she does, she will immediately become a national figure and player in the 2012 race. (Previous ranking: N/A)
It should be noted that readers put her at 10.
