Barr could do to McCain what Nader did to Gore in 2000. Man, this is politics - it _could_ come out that McCain is actually black, a Crip, and is the real voice of the lip-synching 50 Cent and that Obama is really a sheet-cutter who thinks abortion should be a capital offense, the ACLU is full got-dammed socialist commies, and even violent felons should be allowed to own heavy machine guns, high-order explosives, and DU ammunition...I mean, it COULD happen...and I think those are more likely than Barr having much effect on the election as it appears today. His positions will appeal to many right-leaning independents who would never vote for Obama: - anti-Iraq war - deficit hawk - illegal immigration hawk (where McCain has some 'splaining to do) - pro civil rights (in the broadest sense -- FISA wiretapping, etc.) If the race between Obama and McCain is as close as you're saying it is you should be worried about this. Even if he were to have minimal effect, Nader will cancel it out and then some. If this were 30-plus years ago and some Wallace-esque redneck third-rail were running, THAT might hurt McCain, but it isn't and there isn't. The third rail position is already filled, by Nader, and if he has any effect, it'll be on Obama (but even there, I don't think he'll have anywhere the effect he did on Gore). And I don't give a damn what various mass-media polls say - forget the popular vote, look at the actual election of the Prez (the EC) and try to figure how it'll break... anyone who makes claims of certainties does nothing more demonstrate that their lack of knowledge is the surest certainty...

Well now, THERE'S a radical new perspective.....and so eloquently stated too! Wolfgang who knew that boundless patience was bound to pay off eventually. O.k., even *I* realize that a momentous philosophical milestone like this is worth a great deal more time and consideration than I've been able to devote to it thus far.....and I promise to do my best as leisure to examine it in detail presents itself. In the meantime, all I've come up with is a mild headache and some troubling questions about how the application of this pearl of wisdom affects the advisability of placing large bets on the outcome of an election some six months or so in advance of the polling. Can you help me out here.......dicklet? Seriously. Wolfgang |

Word is out that is what some are planning. It will be a very hard time the next four years regardless who is in the Whitehouse. |

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...LwWwAD90KDO9O0 Not so much a nail as maybe a small brad. I don't see this as likely to make any significant difference like Perot or Nader. Who the hell is Bob Barr anyway? Joe F. |
