Report: Bob Barr Weighing Presidential Run

I’ve always wondered at what point Hillary would unveil her 2008 version of Perot. Barr fits the profile perfectly.

If it’s coincidence, there’s no way to tell.

LOL ! ! thats a good one

I agree with you. Unfortunately, I can think of NO conservatives with the name and credentials to be able to win the election this November. I wish that weren’t true because this seems to me a great opportunity, quite similar to the 1970 Senatorial election in NYState, when James Buckley ran on the Conservative ticket and beat a liberal democrat and a liberal republican. He had good credentials, and great name recognition, courtesy of his brother. (And, of course, we shouldn’t minimize the fact and enormous advantage that he had me working for him.)

Alas, nobody I can think of will fill the bill this year and actually have a chance of winning - the best any of those I can think of would do would simply assure a walk in the park for the socialist Demodog candidate.

Classic! :-)

How about a McCain/Hillary ticket to take on Obama??? They seem to like each other...

"When he quits we can sing, Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Barr ran."

Oh, man, that's a good one.

Neither of the men have changed - only the political atmosphere.

Exactly.

Your comment is about 5 years too late.

Ross Perot for VP!

I thought he was on the short list for every RAT candidate! After all they have so much in common.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

I should have included a sarcasm tag...

My point was, Barr has just introduced what could, give the election to the Marxists.

He’s an idiot.

[shield]

No, it’s Soros...he seems to be funding everyone. Didn’t he fund McCain?

Another Ross Perot who gathered 19% of the vote and catapulted Bill Clinton with his 41% vote share into the White House

Ah, some more of that "Ross Perot got Clinton into the White House" garbage. http://www.leinsdorf.com/perot.htm

Thanks for the link.

Sorry about that. The sarcasm was self evident, I just failed to see it, being a bit "under the weather" just now. I used to admire Barr, but this stunt screams of an attention getting mindset reminiscent of a third grader.

I’m old enough..... I got it!
Very good..

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

I confess I’m working slow this morning. It took me a while before it sank in and I spit out my coffee.

[BlueStateBlues]

Or name Sam Nunn as his VP. The Barr/Nunn ticket would be unstoppable! ?

Not you father’s libertarian party. 2008 gets weirder and weirder.

Arrgh....while his ally Dick Armey was always my theoretical "first choice" for the Presidency, the eventual Dim nominee will be way too foul to risk.

George Soros, Progressive Ins. Co.

Progressive belongs to Peter Lewis, not George Soros. The reality is all McCain would have to do is propose legalizing pot and Lewis would back him big.
