Is Bob Barr our kingmaker this November? |
|
A much bigger conservative than McCain. He could court the Ron Paul vote. He could also take away votes from McCain in the loony conservative voting bloc due to the conservatives despising McLame. I think he could get more votes than Nader did in 2000.
Thoughts?

1. Pros: very articulate, Cons: a pig-like face |

Barr does not have a following or a movement like Perot or Nader to build on. Although he does have something to say, the media will ignore him. (and they will give the Dem nominee as little attention as they can get away with)(I heard that John Mccain is a "maverick" :sarcasm:)

2. He has two things going for him 1. Ron Paul nuts 2. Illegal immigration zealots |

both groups will be fertile ground for Barr.
You know some of the Tancredo crowd wouldn't mind a protest vote since that is their sole issue.

3. You are very right. Both groups are disenfranchised with the Rethugs. |
|
Let's hope that Mccain continues to step on them.
