I think it would be next to impossilbe for Barr to ever get to 15%.  Most other 3rd part candidates who did this started their campaigns much earlier and i just dont see how Barr gets an media coverage this late to get these kind of poll numbers.

I will participate and when I'm polled I will vote for Barr in the poll.

I've thought about this too. There are a lot of conservatives that identify themselves with the Libertarian Party, or so they say. But Barr is the perfect bridge from conservative to libertarian. Only Ron Paul would have been better.

I wonder who will be Barr's VP. I hope, I hope, I hope it's someone from the far right.

The Operation needs a better name, though.

Yep.  His being in the race is a good thing.

For the record, I actually sympathize with true libertarians.  The Republican party has not been kind to them of late.  If they feel squeezed out and marginalized, then having a prominent standard bearer is a good thing.

Alrighty.

if BO becomes the dem nominee, then ALOT of HRC supporters will move over to Mccain, the conservative christians hate mccain and they will move to barr. Dems for Mccain could bring the republican party to the center. meanwhile the dem party will be far left with bo and the elite running it.

And please don't forget to donate to Barr if you can afford it. We want him to be as competitive as possible.

While he may pull a few votes from disaffected conservatives, lets not think he won't get from disaffected Democrats and liberals. barr is a liberal on the War in Iraq and Civil Liberties, issues which are more cared about on the left than right. Democrats may also vote for him because they may have forgotten about the impeachment, or not give a damn. This could include the Hillary Clinton voters and Democrats who don't like Obama for whatever reason, or don't want to vote for a black man. This is likely that McCain won't be seen as a maverick anymore, but as to the right of Barr, which is why some Dem voters could go to him. We hope for this guy at our peril. Its like thinking Perot helped us, the common myth, but he really took equally, according to exit polls, which means he prevented Clinton from claiming a mandate by hindering a majority. This cost him dearly in terms of leverage and legislation, and with a new Dem, we don't need it. If the Dem nominee gets under 50 percent, it allows conservatives to say "ohhh you dems can't get a majority," thus misleading the public. Root for Barr at our peril.
