摘要

Haley barbour has not always been welcomed with open arms in his native Mississippi. In 1982, he failed to unseat John Stennis from the Senate, even though the Democrat was 81 years old and given to meaningless rambling. "I'd vote for a yellow dog that had been lying dead in the hot August sun for two weeks before I'd vote for Haley Barbour," growled one voter. Mississippians are more welcoming today. On Tuesday Mr Barbour was cheerfully voted into the state's governorship. His victory, like the Republicans' success in Kentucky, is further proof of the death of "yellow dog" Democrats in the South. But it is also evidence of something that may rival Dixie in its effect on the future of Republicanism: the steadily tightening bond between the Grand Old Party and the lobbying industry. Mr Barbour became a power broker in Mississippi's Republican Party when he was still in his early 20s-in the turbulent decade following the 1964 Civil Rights Act, when the Democrats' century-long hold over his state began to crumble. He seized the opportunity to become a force in the national party, eventually joining the Reagan White House, becoming the chairman of the Republican National Committee and helping Newt Gingrich plan the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994.
