Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr says Republicans are so afraid that he will spoil things for Sen. John McCain that the Republican presidential nominee is shadowing him, scheduling appearances in battleground states to match Mr. Barr's own campaign events.
Keith Smiley/The Washington Times THREE'S A CROWD: Bob Barr says he wants to show Americans that they have another choice.
"I suppose it's a compliment," Mr. Barr told editors and reporters at The Washington Times. "It confirms that the states where we are spending our time are really the critical ones, in which the gaps between Senators McCain and [Barack] Obama are smaller than what we are polling.
"The two states we just found out about today are Ohio and New Hampshire, where McCain apparently added stops to his schedule in order to shadow us," said Mr. Barr, who in months past had polled in the high single digits in some states.
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds dismissed the claim.

Barr finally got a story printed about him? Way to go Bob.
What a freaking idiot.
Delusions of grandeur.
Barr is an idiot — McCain could care less about the twerp.
SHAME on the Times for giving this guy ink! Sheesh.
He’s a whore who just wants to say he cost McCain the election. I won’t give him that satisfaction!
Who’s Librarian Bob?
This is the man who got duped into a fake interview with Sacha Cohen, and thought he was eating cheese made from breast milk. What a joke.
He may scare some of McCain’s grandchildren — if they’re under seven years old.
Wow! Bob Barr ... Ron Paul ... Gotta worry about the sanity of these one-syllable guys.
I dunno. Bob scares me a little too. It isn’t anything a cattle prod and a straitjacket wouldn’t cure...
Is there a clip of that?! LOL
“Ahh, but the strawberries that’s... that’s where I had them...”
Barr Derangement Syndrome differs from all the others in that the only victim is the candidate himself.
I doubt it. Barr does not have a libertarian record.
In a sicko, Halloween movie sort of way.
Barr scares me so we’re even.
Damned. I can use him to haunt houses for Halloween. We can make a fortune.
LOL
I can’t stop laughing about that. Too funny.
How can we ever hope to break the stranglehold of the 2 party system when anyone who's not part of the 2 party system is absolutely insane???
Paranoid comes to mind.
Where is Ralph Nader?
Don’t really know Bob Barr’s policies or whatever they may be good or bad, but the only time I think he should bother at this point of the election is when he is one of the MAJOR candidates. Face it, he isn’t.
Between Obama and McCain, Barr’s influence can only take away from McCain, because most libertarians are disgruntled conservatives, and are very rarely liberals. Thus all he is doing is contributing to Obama’s campaign.
Maybe he could try to be more influential next time if he so wishes, but at this point of the election, he is just a bleeding distraction.
And since he seems to want his ego boost before he would even consider the dangers of an Obamanation. That marks him down in my book.
Sadly, Barr's been replaced with leftist blowhard Boob Barf. (kinda like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)
I do hope Boob Barf (Losertarian-GA) keeps his delusional plans to "take votes" from McCain by appearing at events for McCain in swing states though. The more voters get to hear the Losertarian's nominee push for surrender in Iraq, supporting gay marriage, legalizing drugs, gorebull warming, and keeping the status quo on abortion, the better. No conservative in their right mind will vote for Boob Barf.
Well who isn't scared of a deranged kook...?
I knew Bob Barr, years ago when he was rational.
>>”The two states we just found out about today are Ohio and New Hampshire, where McCain apparently added stops to his schedule in order to shadow us,” said Mr. Barr, who in months past had polled in the high single digits in some states. <<
Yeah, right. McCain’s stumping in two swing states because he’s afraid of Bob Barr.
I’m sorry that I ever even admired this nutjob.
