Highly regarded and widely read political columnist George Will has mentioned Governor Haley Barbour as Senator John McCain's potential running mate again.
In a piece running in several major news outlets, Mr. Will said,
Three two-term governors might help McCain, including Missisippi's Haley Barbour, 60. He has two things McCain lacks -- impeccable conservative credentials and a genial disposition. He was conspicuously competent in Hurricane Katrina's aftermath. As a political director in the Reagan White House and as national party chairman, 1993-97, when Republicans ended 40 years of Democratic control of the House of Representatives, Barbour demonstrated political subtlety and an agreeable absence of righteousness, qualities McCain as president would need close at hand.
