McCain/Hillary/Obama as choices really does raise the question: “Does America Need a Conservative Party?”

I think so.

Yup, his work is limited to privacy and 2nd amendment issues.

Check out this from the archives (8 months before 9/11):

Bob Barr calls for reestablishing federal death warrants for terrorist leaders. There was a point in time when Barr was asked (half-jokingly) to refer to himself as the Congressman from Free Republic. In contrast, McCain has been hated by the conservative grassroots all the way up until about 6 weeks ago. Neither of the men have changed - only the political atmosphere.

Probably a little of both...she promised to leave his FBI file safely hidden in her underwear drawer.

If anything, my hatred for the man has grown in that time. The more I hear from him, the more I want to vote against him.

Another Ross Perot who gathered 19% of the vote and catapulted Bill Clinton with his 41% vote share into the White House.
Perot’s, Ron Paul's and now Barr's election legacies?

There's also a wild rumor that Gore and Bloomberg will run.

But then I looked at the date and realized that it was probably an April Fool.

Bob Barr is less of a kook than previous libertarian candidates have been. He's not the kind of libertarian who makes the rest of the country sick.

Of course there are limits to how well he could do, and he could turn out to be an awful candidate, but right now he looks like a step up for the libertarians, and a chance to improve their reputation.

“Just say no,” Mr. Barr, if you care about America.

Well, since I won’t be voting for McCain under any circumstances, I’ll have to take a close look at Barr.
