Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R), considered to be a possible
Republican presidential candidate in 2012, may have a bigger problem
with granting pardons than Mike Huckabee (R), his potential rival who
has been taking a beating for weeks on the issue.

Slate notes Barbour "has simultaneously ignored increasing evidence
that there may be a disturbingly high number of innocent people in
prison in Mississippi and handed out pardons to the convicted
murderers who just happen to do work on his house."
