The Ricochet parade of governors continues as we are joined this week by Mississippi Governor (and Chairman of the Republican Governors Association) Haley Barbour, as well as by John Hinderaker of the Powerline Blog, sitting in for Mark Steyn. We cover health care, Republican prospects for the fall elections, why governors matter, and if our guest may be thinking of running for a certain higher office. We also reveal why Morgan Freeman chooses to live where he does and why Rob Long lives deep behind enemy lines. Questions or comments?
