Barbour sees no baggage on race issues
DES MOINES, IOWA — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says he carries no political baggage because of his positions on racial issues.
The issue flared as recently as last week when Barbour declined to denounce an effort by a group pushing for a license plate in honor of confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Barbour says the proposal was never going anywhere.
