As I'm sure most have you have atleaset read, Bob Barr candidacy could turn out to be a spoiler, especially in Southern states like Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Libertarians also tend to do well in Western states. Polls have only given McCain a slight 4 point lead in Alaska (Bush won by 30 points There) as well as only modest leads in other reliably Republican states out west such as Idaho and Montana. It's conceivable that even Mississippi could be in play with the right combination of heightened AA voter turnout, Bob Barr's candidacy and lack of enthusiasm for McCain. At the very least McCain would be forced to spend precious time and money in states that should easily be in his column.
I know what some you may be thinking...this is pure political maneuvering. This is the same maneuvering the Republicans successfully did in 2000 when many of them donated to Ralph Nader because Nader's campaign took votes away from Gore. As you all recall, Nader made it much more difficult for Gore to win Oregon and Washington. He would have won New Hampshire but for Nader and as you all remember, Nader received nearly 100,000 votes in Florida in 2000. Those are votes that surely 80% would have otherwise gone to Gore. Remember...Gore lost Florida by a mere 540 votes.
I don't want any high minded lectures about this. Let's stick it to the Republicans this time around just as they stuck it us! DONATE TO BOB BARR!
