No darkhorse in Mississippi
Gov. Haley Barbour has announced that he will NOT run for President in 2008. Instead he plans on running for reelection to the governorship in 2007.
I think this is a smart move on his part. He'd be a longshot at best this go around in a Presidential bid. Eight years as governor would give him the opportunity to shore up a legacy in Mississippi (assuming Katrina reconstruction is successful) and place him in an even more pristine position to run for President in 2012 (assuming there's not a GOP incumbent President).
