And you better believe that Soros, MoveOn, Kos, DNC, and Obama money will be backing his lawsuit every step of the way.

[paudio]

Do they really believe that libertarian-minded independents, Democrats, or Republicans, will be more likely to vote for Barr by doing this?

[montag813]

Bob Barr is a piece of excrement. Republicans should pelt him with tomatoes wherever he shows his stupid face.

[Vigilanteman]

The lawsuit by the former Republican congressman from Georgia claims that neither McCain nor Obama met the requirement of Texas law that all candidates provide “written certification” of their nomination “before 5 p.m. on the 70th day before election day” because neither had been formally nominated by their respective parties in time.

Actually, if this is what the law says, Bob Barr is right. Third parties have been blocked for being on state ballots for more trivial reasons.

However, I think there are three possible answers to this suit:

1. Write-in campaign. More Texas Conservatives can spell McCain than Jackass Lieberals can spell Obama.
   
2. The candidates for office really aren't McCain, Obama and Barr anyway. They are a slate of electors.
   
3. Texas could propose a settlement whereby Barr drops the suit and the state agrees to make ballot requirements for third parties uniform with those of major parties. This would be a fair solution.

This election is getting utterly surreal...

Texas doesn’t allow write-ins?

[elkfersupper]

Fabulous.

We can't afford either one of these candidates to succeed.

[kabar]

LOL. Barr just seeking some publicity for his non-existent campaign. Sure, Bob, Texas is going to remove the two major candidates for the Presidency from the ballot on a technicality thereby depriving the voters of the second most populous state in the country of a choice of either McCain or Obama.

[MovementConservative]

Ridiculous. Even if Barr is successful, McCain would win on write-ins. What a pos loser.

[Lancey Howard]

It’s getting harder and harder to remember when Bob was one of the good guys.
He’s turned into a real goofball. Does he have advanced syphilus or something?

[OKIEDOC]

The sorry little slim ball cockroach knows that loosing Texas would not hurt Obama but would kill McCain's chances.

This looks like some of the same tricks that Obama has used to win elections in Chicago.

[SecAmndmt]

Considering the highly restrictive ballot access laws foisted upon third (ie. second) parties by the R & D establishment, this lawsuit might be poetic justice.

However, I doubt that it will go anywhere.

[fortheDeclaration]

Barr worked for the ACLU, and he has learned their tactics.

[brityank]

Go for it --


Conservatives
know how to

Write In "John S. McCain" !!
