Barr drops to second; one ballot left

Denver - Bob Barr has dropped into second place after five rounds of voting at the 2008 Libertarian National Convention.

The sixth and presumably final ballot for the party’s presidential nomination is coming next, a head-to-head match up between Barr and Mary Ruwart, who now leads 229 votes to 223 for Barr.

Wayne Allyn Root was third with 165 votes and was eliminated.

Members of the Georgia delegation hinted that Root and Barr were behind closed doors, possibly discussing a deal. That could not be immediately confirmed.
