It's one thing when democrats say you're doomed, or even a few notable Republicans. But even Bob Barr, the former GOP congressman from Georgia and current Libertarian nominee for president, is saying that John McCain is "toast," according to Foon Rhee of the Globe's “Political Intelligence.” Barr has said that McCain is on his "farewell tour" across America because he has no realistic chance of winning the presidential election. He goes on to say that McCain has an angry and mixed message, supports big spending policies, and has no chance of becoming president. Barr appeals to voters saying, "Now, principled conservatives can vote their conscience instead of voting for a faux conservative just because he carries the Republican label. A vote for McCain is a wasted vote."

This election is reminding me more and more of 1980. The media bringing out the Libertarian to try to steal votes from the GOP base and also phony polls saying that Carter(Obama) was doing well.

Barr has a point. However, I’d rather have an imperfect Conservative, than a Perfect 3rd World Marxist, as President.

I knew Ross Perot, and Bob Barr ain’t no Ross Perot.

"A vote for McCain is a wasted vote." Coming from a guy running for President on a third party ticket, that's hilarious...

Barr thinks it’s important to point out that McCain can’t win. I wonder what McCain’s view of Barr’s chances is. LMAO

McCain is OUR candidate....he'll do well and keep our country safe....he will expand his ideas with Sarah pushing for energy independence....
I don't worry about him at all....he's a war hero and a patriot....
now Barr for his part is an arrogant and self-agrandizing midget....
