Haley Barbour (R-MS) &#8220;<a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/stories\/0410\/35925.html\">is weighing the prospect<\/a> of a 2012 White House bid&#8221; and recently discussed the possibility with his closest advisers. When asked about the discussions, Barbour himself didn&#8217;t downplay the possibility of running for president. &#8220;After the November election, we\u2019ll sit down and see if there is anything to consider,&#8221; he said.

I don&#8217;t think you saw him going into &#8216;94 as the spokesman so much as an organizer and a fund-raiser.
