Barr announces Libertarian White House bid

[aleonard]

I'm thinking hiring Perot's former manager might not be the best way to start out:idontno:

Former Republican's entry could cost McCain votes

WASHINGTON - Former Republican Rep. Bob Barr launched a Libertarian Party presidential bid Monday, saying voters are hungry for an alternative to the status quo who would dramatically cut the federal government.His candidacy throws a wild card into the White House race that many believe could peel away votes from Republican Sen. John McCain given the candidates' similar positions on fiscal policy.
Barr, who has hired Ross Perot's former campaign manager, acknowledged that some Republicans have tried to discourage him from running. But he said he's getting in the race to win, not to play spoiler or to make a point.

Can I have some of what he's smoking? This just reeks of Ross Perot. How many times will he bow out? (Hillary pay attention to that part.)

This is going to be interesting. I believe it is now going to force McCain to seek a more conservative VP. This has killed CCs chances, imho, if Barr stays in.

He got lots of exposure from eating cheese made out of "breast milk". It has gotta be all down hill from that.

Saw the title and only Barr I knew was Roseanne Barr ! :eek:

This makes me think of Ralph Nader - I assume he's still in?

Yes, Run, Bob Run!...The unhappy McCain voters now have a place to go! Bob Barr will be to the Republican Party what Ralph Nader was to the Democratic Party in '00 and '04 .

Actually, I have NEVER been a Bob Barr fan, even when I was in his disctrict in Ga...BUT, I do like his position on the Iraq war, however--Go Libertarians!
