Henry Barbour, that is. CNN reports:

Mississippi Committeeman Henry Barbour, a respected figure inside the RNC and a close confidante to his uncle, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, emailed committee members to praise [Reince] Priebus’ record in Wisconsin as well as his service as RNC General Counsel, a position Priebus resigned from this weekend before officially entering the chairman’s race on Monday. . . .
Barbour said he was impressed with Priebus’ handling of the General Counsel job under difficult circumstances. The RNC has been plagued by public relations fiascos and questions about fundraising since Steele took over the job in early 2009.
“Let’s face it, that was a tough job and he did as well as reasonably can be expected,” Barbour wrote. “He was always fair-minded, candid and inclusive with members. I also believe Reince was one of the few people in the inner circle who talked straight with Chairman Steele when he disagreed with him.”
