Guess we will have to wait and see what Barr does and if he does, who endorses him, etc. You may be right..I keep forgetting the discontent in the GOP base.

For one, the man hasn't announced, yet, if he will at all. For another, there's a lot of angst with McCain and if Barr is an acceptable alternative, it could spell a lot of trouble for the McCain camp, considering how complacent it is. McCain believes we have no other choice and he could care less that we have no other choice, which is why he spends little time talking about conservative issues. I believe Barr could be a lot more trouble for McCain than Nader will be for the Democrats. It's still early in the election cycle. If Barr goes for it, he could spell trouble for the Republican Party as a whole. They have invested heavily in McCain at the expense of their conservative base. They marginalized us. Perhaps we'll return the favor... It’s really hard to say, BB… at least at this point. For one, the man hasn’t announced, yet, if he will at all.

There does seem to be a libertarian resurgence of sorts, if we consider the interest in Ron Paul. Dunno, I rather doubt Barr or Nader will be anything but marginal.... Interesting, hadn’t heard that.
