DEL.ICIO.USKubby endorses Ruwart
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Denver - Bob Barr’s candidacy just suffered a blow, minor though it might be, when Steve Kubby dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Mary Ruwart.
Kubby, whose platform was largely based on easing marijuana laws, did not receive the necessary 5 percent on the second ballot to remain in the race.
He urged the 32 Libertarians who voted for him to back Ruwart. If they did so, it would drop Barr from first place to second, trailing Ruwart 194 to 188.
State delegations are meeting now in advance of the third ballot.
