Bob has been making the rounds amongst reporters, much like he did in Denver. His thoughts on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. John McCain’s runningmate, appeared in a couple of articles today.
The first is from CQPolitics :
Barr said reports of a “cursory vetting process” for Palin “raise questions about the way McCain reached his decision.”
Noting that McCain is 72, Barr said he wonders whether Palin “has the experience – not just the superficial experience – to really size up” foreign policy issues.
Barr pointed to what he termed President Bush’s foreign policy inexperience when he took office, saying that Bush had a “very serious misinterpretation of Vladimir Putin when he first met him.” Bush famously said that he was able to “get a sense of his soul” when he met Russia’s then-president, who is now prime minister.
“It’s not something you gain by serving as mayor for a couple of years, or as governor for a couple of years,” Barr sai...

As I wrote ealier today, Bob has been in Charleston, South Carolina campaigning. A couple of news stations already have stories online. The first comes from Live 5 News , a CBS affiliate:
A College of Charleston economics professor was animated when asked for his opinion on the so-called “financial bail-out” plan.
“It’s basically sending in the fire brigade to put out the fire,” said Professor Frank Hefner. “It’s plugging holes in the Titanic befo... more

I was a bit amused last week to see that Rob Haney , lately the chair of the Republicans in Legislative District 11, was ousted by former legislator Steve Tully . Haney has been waging a one man war against John McCain , which has included anti-McCain resolutions before the Republican State Committee and an interview on NPR where he criticized McCain for being too liberal.
According to one R-Cubed source within the Republican party, folks in the district club, some of whom supported Hane... more

So, putting aside the polls, I think it was politically beneficial
for McCain to control the agenda of the debate. I think that meant he
advanced his message more effectively than Obama. If McCain can manage
the agenda of the next two debates as well (a big if), the final effect
could be quite helpful to him. It will [...]

I'm about to head out to the airport. But I thought this might be worth throwing into the blog-o-matic. From a reader:Jonah,
K-Lo posted a link to a DE site on the Katie's restaurant thing. An eagle-eyed commentator there pointed out that CNN has changed the debate transcript to read: "Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington OR go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time..." (Emphasis ... more
Arbitrarily casting a vote for a presidential candidate from one of the two best known parties based on whether or not he’s expected to win would be like handing your ballot to the media or to McCain or Obama and letting them vote for you. We’ve just been majorly swindled by the government and Wall Street. Did your candidate act on this in a way that you find acceptable? This was no small issue. If McCain or Obama win this election, we will be represented in the White House in the s... more
Bob Barr was in Texas over the weekend speaking to the state convention of the Libertarian Party of Texas . Bob hit on spending and civil liberties, but he asked the question, “Have you had enough?” He said that continuing to support Democrats and Republicans with the hopes that they will be different is, as Albert Einstein said, the definition of insanity, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
You can listen to Bob’s speec... more
Most Americans are not even aware that ballot access laws exist in our country or how difficult it can be for third party or independent candidates just to get their name on the ballot.
But this is an issue that the Libertarian Party has dealt with from the beginning- usually successfully, but not always.
Right now, the LP has automatic ballot access in only 28 states. The rest of the states must be fought for by a combination of gathering signatures, paying fees and filing paperwork.

“Congressman Ron Paul has fought tirelessly in both the Libertarian Party and the Republican Party to minimize government power and maximize individual liberty.

In case you missed it, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) appeared on CNN this morning . Host John Roberts asked for his thoughts on Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr.
John Roberts: There’s another politician who’s in the race who’s made some changes, as well: Georgia Congressman Bob Barr. He was a faithful Republican, supported a lot of their conservative policies. Now he’s the leader of the Libertarian Party. They would have loved to have had you. You wouldn’t run as a Libertarian.... more
