Every day different bloggers comment on the potential of a Haley vice presidency. Here are some of the comments found today--

Greg from the Left- "Another reader enumerates Haley Barbour’s assets: “He’s a bit younger than McCain, and is a southern governor with a strong pro-life record — and he was the only competent elected official in the midst of Hurricane Katrina. He’s also strong on taxes and spending: He balanced Mississippi’s budget, and he vetoed a cigarette-tax increase and vowed to veto others. Barbour would be a perfect balance to McCain by addressing his southern problem and his conservative problem — and he is credible enough that Americans would be comfortable to see him being one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.”"

Mornin' Coffee-- For John McCain, I would expect him to pick someone with executive experience like a governor, as well as someone viewed as conservative… He has to do something to try and get the party base behind him. I would also expect him to pick someone from the south, again to further shore up his base from a region of the country least likely to be enthused to support his campaign. Sonny Perdue of Georgia, Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Haley Barbour of Mississippi certainly meet that criteria. I would guess that Barbour would likely have an edge in so far as name recognition goes.
