document: Haley Barbour &#39; s Wife Is Afraid He &#39; ll Be President While Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour might still be giving serious thought to running for president , his wife is n't too thrilled about the possibility . Marsha Barbour told WLOX , a Mississippi television station , that the idea ` horrifies ' her . It 's not her husband 's less-than-stellar chances of winning that scare her . No , it 's the time commitment that running would require . '' `` Why am I afraid ? It 's been a lot to be the first lady of the state of Mississippi , '' '' she said , '' `` and this would be 50 times bigger . '' '' She also estimates that a Barbour Administration would require ten years of their life , though she might be getting a little ahead of herself . Regardless of how understandable her concerns may be , this wo n't help her husband 's chances any , which some already viewed as dubious . In addition to his wife 's trepidation about him running for the nation 's highest office , the NAACP also accused Barbour of pushing for a civil rights museum for purely political gain . '' `` This is a media attention-grabber to launch his presidential race , '' '' Derrick Johnson , the organization 's president , told Salon . But considering that he lauded a segregationist group as recently as December and `` Haley Barbour racist '' is the second Google auto-suggestion when you type in the governor 's name , rehabilitating his reputation on race issues might be a good move . Barbour 's not even the most popular Republican in his home state . A poll conducted by Public Policy Polling showed that Mike Huckabee would do better against President Obama in Mississippi , winning by 14 points instead of Barbour 's 10-point margin . His wife is afraid he 'll run for president , the NAACP called his efforts to build a civil rights museum purely political , and he 's not even the most popular Republican in his home state ; all in all , not the best end of the week for Mr. Barbour . But at least his spokesman did n't try to make another joke about Japan .
