I will need to read up on Barr. Apart from his ideology, I have to wonder
whether he'll pull enough votes away from McCain to put Obama in the
White House. As much as I dislike McCain, it's even worse to think of
Obama as President. The other argument is that an Obama victory could be
shock therapy for the Republican party, which absolutely needs it. But
the impact to the country as a whole seems a high price to pay for
jolting the Replublicans to pull their heads out. But perhaps the country
is already past the point where that matters.

IOW, I'm undecided.

Barr has the distinction of being the only candidate to appear in the
Borat movie.
