Chicago Sun Times runs the rumor that leading conservatives will tell McCain that the man to help him become President is Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour:
Sneed hears GOP presidential front-runner John McCain will be advised by senior conservative party leaders this week to choose Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour as his veepmate -- if he wants to win.
• • To wit: Word is the ultraconservative gathering at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) will hit McCain with the ultimatum in Washington, D.C., where the meeting takes place.
• • The reasons: Barbour is more conservative than GOP opponents Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney, a former RNC national chairman, has strong ties to all national committeemen, governors and Republican leaders, a popular stump speaker, and a big fund-raiser needed for campaign coffers McCain needs filled fast.
