"PEARL, Miss. --Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour stood shoulder to shoulder Tuesday and played up their similarities as leaders who dealt with two of the nation's largest disasters."
"I don't think anybody's going to ask me to run for vice president with them," Barbour said. "If you're the Republican candidate for president, why would you pick somebody from Mississippi to be your vice president? If the Republican candidate for president doesn't carry Mississippi, he ain't going to carry three states."
"Political scientist Marty Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University, said Barbour, an anti-abortion Southerner, would provide ideological and geographical balance to Giuliani, a pro-choice Northerner."
