Barbour touts moderate McCain

By Ralph Z. Hallow
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour yesterday said that he is too conservative to be John McCain’s running mate but that the Arizona senator’s maverick reputation will help him in an election in which moderates and independents will be more important than in recent years.

Mr. Barbour also urged Mr. McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, not to name his pick for vice president until after the Democrats’ convention, when he can draw the sharpest distinction between the parties.

Mr. McCain will depend on “persuasion” to snare independents and disgruntled Democrats on Nov. 4, unlike George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections when victory depended on maximizing the turnout of each party’s hard-core partisans, said Mr. Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman.
