Many of the Republicans who will vote for Bob Barr don't care if the Republican party loses. They are so frustrated with their party that they don't really care if McCain loses.

McCain should not be worried about losing a few percentage points to Barr, but rather fear the possibility of placing third behind Barr in the general election. The word on the street is that Bob Barr has lost of support. McCain losing to Barr could not please this traditional republican more. Go Bob Go.

Vote Barr, I know I will.

He'll take the ADR vote. American Disconnected from Reality. He is not a viable candidate and even though I am voting for Obama, I can see he is not on the same level as McCain. Big fish in small pond does not say leader. No! He'll take the ADR vote. American Disconnected from Reality.

Could it be his rightist leanings and philosophy? I think he is a danger to McCain. How could he not be? He'll certainly take votes away from a man who is absolutely a centrist Republican, no matter what he's saying now. I believe that's where he ought to be, but how many of the Republican base think like that? I'm trying to get my head wrapped around what motivates Barr.

McCain doesn't even come close to representing my values & stand on the issues and, after listening to Barr, I don't think he does either. Obama comes closest though isn't perfect. At this point, I'd take Obama over the other candidates. One can only hope though I'd prefer the next president be elected based on their stand on the issues.
