Like a Good Nader, Bob Barr is There

Barr Secures Libertarian Party Nod

It sure will be interesting to see what effect Bob Barr has on the election totals in November. I predict he'll get more attention and more votes than Nader. Is the conventional wisdom that Barr will draw away votes from McCain and Nader will take away from the Democrat correct? In a year when we're likely to have two major party candidates with cross-over appeal, it's impossible to predict. Fasten your seatbelts...it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

A Nader for Republicans?

Democrats may get their wish: A third-party candidate likely to steal more votes from McCain than Nader will steal from Obama.

His name is Bob Barr. You'll remember him as one of the rabid Elephants in the House of Reps pushing the Clinton impeachment. It appears he may be the Libertarian Party's nominee for President. We'll find out when they hold their convention in, yes, Denver, over Memorial Day weekend.

Barr has formed an exploratory committee. If he gets the nod, I may just help him out a little. Some payback for the Rush Hillary Limbaugh debacle.
