People are wondering what I’m wondering: what effect will Bob Barr have on the General Election?
Barr said he expects the party to be on the ballot in at least 48 states and perhaps all 50 if the party can qualify in West Virginia and Oklahoma. Barr said he also expects to be invited to the national political debates by qualifying with poll support of 15 percent or more of registered voters. (Politico)
Hmm…
Without Paul’s passionate legions, Barr would have a difficult time attracting grass-roots and financial support.
In other words, if Paul stays on the sidelines and does not get behind Barr, the Libertarian nominee could be as much of a nonfactor this year as in every other recent presidential cycle. (Politico—John Martin)
Regardless — I and others think it very possible that Obama, partially thanks to Barr, could get the nod from Georgia in November—but we’ll just have to see.
