Barbour Still Leading
A new poll shows Republican candidate Haley Barbour leading Mississippi’s incumbent Democrat Governor Ronnie Musgrove by 4 points. That’s about the same as the last poll, which showed this race as close, with a slight GOP partisan edge.
President Bush will campaign with Barbour in Mississippi on Saturday.
He’ll also campaign with Ernie Fletcher, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, in Kentucky. Fletcher has been making hay with the 7.2 percent GDP number, while his Democrat opponent, Ben Chandler, continues to run against the “Bush-Fletcher economy.” This could end up being very embarassing for Democrats, since they could lose a governorship they’ve held for 32 years.
