Barbour: No ‘game changer’ needed for Romney VP
Add former Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour to the list of people who say Mitt Romney doesn’t need to pick a “game changer” to be his running mate.
Barbour, who recently completed two terms as Mississippi governor, told CBS News today that Romney needs to follow the “Hippocratic oath” and select someone who will “do no harm” to his candidacy.
“To pick a VP thinking it’s going to be a game changer that would be highly, highly unlikely and unusual,” Barbour said. The “threshold question is: is this person qualified to be president” if something should happen to the White House occupant?
