Born Again Bob Barr Borat

On the floor of the 2008 LPCon when Barr was nominated, there was a lot of emotion and some contention between the contrast of long time activists Libertarian choices for President and the recent slate of 'newcomers' to the race.

Candidates like Dr. Mary Ruwart, Professor George Phillies, Steve Kubby, W.A. Root among others in the 'libertarian-o-meter' were compared in contrast to some long standing nationally known figures Bob Barr and Mike Gravel, who have long and considerable records serving in Washington DC who have, or had, some positions that Libertarians vehemently oppose.

In the end, Barr was considered by the majority to hold the most potential for media coverage and ability to run a strong and well organized campaign.

Many say this is an attempt to run a 'right' leaning campaign instead of a more centrist campaign in order to appeal to the McCain weakness on conservative issues.

At this point my answer to that is, 'Well, Duh!!!"

The task now is to keep Born Again Barr soaking in 'Liberty's Brine' so that he continues to redeem himself (as he states he wishes to do) and to keep working on other campaigns in each individual state.

More to come. . .
