One day after his announcement, Bob Barr is in the ‘lead’ of the Libertarian race for President.

While I’m not really a supporter (in the least), mind you, I am excited by the fact that this ex-Republican might play a bigger role than one might expect from a third party candidate. Clearly it is quite unlikely for a third party to win—but he could tip the balance in the General Elecection — which is what I’m hoping for.

Bob Barr could easily take votes away from McCain — if he were ‘viable enough.’ Democrats, therefore, should fund Mr Barr’s campaign and do everything possible to get him in the Presidential debates in the fall.
