Haley Barbour (Born, October 22, 1947) is the popular Republican governor of Mississippi. His effective handling of Hurricane Katrina's effects on his state was widely praised, in contrast with the disastrous recovery effort in neighboring Louisiana. After heading the Republican National Committee from 1993-1997, during which the GOP captured both houses of Congress, Barbour succeeded Mark Sanford as the leader of the Republican Governors Association in 2009. Term-limited as governor, Barbour has been the subject of speculation about a run for national office, and is expected by some to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012. Prior to his election as governor, he headed Barbour Griffith and Rogers, one of the nation's top lobbying firms. He served as Director of the White House Office of Political Affairs under President Ronald Reagan.
