DEL.ICIO.USTomorrow’s thoughts on a Bob Barr candidacy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Columbus, Ga. — Sunday’s Washington Post will have this op-ed piece on the problems that Libertarian presidential hopeful Bob Barr could create for Republican John McCain, by Micah Sifry, an expert on third-party candidacies:
“While the former Republican congressman from Georgia isn’t going to become president, his run is no joke. Barr might well inherit the sizable support garnered by Rep. Ron Paul during his own run for the Republican nomination — and leave McCain sputtering the sorts of epithets usually uttered by Democrats talking about Ralph Nader.”

The Republican party could have welcomed the Ron Paul supporters. Instead, they chose to shun them. Apparently they didn’t feel they needed the money, time, or votes that were offered. This isn’t Bob Barr’s doing. The Republican party is solely responsible driving them away. It’s a shame they didn’t learn anything in 2004. Maybe they’ll learn something in 2008.
