Political Wire is reporting the Governor Haley Barbour is gearing up for a run in 2008. They write, "Longtime Republican leader Gil Carmichael predicts that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) will face Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) in the 2008 presidential race, according to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. Barbour has the 'the political connections and the popularity to win the Republican nomination...Barbour was already on the lips of some prominent Republicans before the devastation by Hurricane Katrina. His widely praised handling of the disaster has pushed him even more into the national spotlight, and his name is getting dropped more and more as a possible presidential candidate.'"
Political Wire: "As Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) "ratchets up her attacks on President Bush, some Democrats think they smell an explanation: the threat of a 2008 Al Gore presidential bid that could come at her from the left on Iraq," the New York Post reports. 'The former vice president is suddenly re-emerging as a vocal and visible Bush-basher -- he's slated to star at a Democratic National Committee fund-raiser for big donors in Washington next Tuesday.'"
