1. What Haley means to the Republican Party: Haley was the first woman to be elected governor of South Carolina in 2010 and she is one of just two Indian-American governors nationwide. (Jindal is the other.) At a time when many party strategists want the GOP to project a more diverse image, losing Haley from the roster of the nation’s governors would clearly be a blow. So expect Haley to be well-funded and receive all of the support she needs from the Republican Governors Association, which is chaired by Jindal, with Walker serving as his vice chairman.
