Likelihood of New Yorker readers voting for Barr? “Ha ha”
Thanks, Richard, for the link.
It is a pretty good article, filled with new (to me) information about Bob Barr’s life.
Alas, there is also more information as to how fouled up the campaign is.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “What might have been.”
With such a high profile candidate, the LP could have scored its best results ever, but with such a non-libertarian campaign, with so many even anti-libertarian acts and statements from Barr himself and his (at least alleged) spokespeople, the LP probably won’t do as well as in previous campaigns.
Double alas, I even supported Barr before the convention.
The article seems to be written from an antagonistic perspective, but still has a lot of great background information. Even the largest and most well-funded of campaigns are not perfect, and I think Bob Barr has run a very solid, credible Libertarian campaign.
Overall, it’s not a bad piece. Fairly accurate.
We all need to vote for Barr, and build the LP for the fight for Liberty.

Before it’s too late.
