Haley Barbour

Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour (R) has been criticized for his comments on civil rights. As Thompson said Krissah:
In a profile of the Weekly Standard, on Monday, Barbour said he could not remember that "being bad" and refers to groups such as sympathetic white citizens' councils, which are known, are put on the policy of apartheid South known .



His office said in a statement yesterday morning reversing the comments. On the question, why has not my home town in Mississippi, the same racist violence experienced as young as the efforts of other cities is accompanied by integration, I just said does not tolerate the leadership community there and helped to prevent violence, "Barbour said In a statement on Tuesday.



"My point was my people, the Ku Klux Klan refused, but nobody should be interpreted as meaning that I think was the leadership of the Holy City, either interpreted. The vehicle, called the Citizens Council," is completely untenable, such as segregation. It was a difficult and painful time for Mississippi, the rest of the country, particularly African-Americans, who were then followed up. "

In 2012, the potential candidate countries have sought to divert attention from its comments, the solution offers this analysis of its ability to recover in time for the presidential election:


So, how badly injured he presidential candidate possibilities Barbour? There are two diametrically opposite answers to this question - both with a grain of truth. The first is that he is not done permanent damage to the eyes of voters who will decide the identity of the candidate's 2012 will.



Why not? Since it is likely that voters observe policy moves only scan test at the time when the holidays approaching.



This means that statements about the incident derailed his chances at the nomination probably exaggerated. The idea that something that happened over a year before a single vote is the race participants will be disqualified seems excessive - especially given the remarkable political returns that we in the presidential election level (see Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, anyone?) in recent years.
