Didn't the Georgians vote Barr out of office? Go away Bob.

Look out Barr. If Hillary loses the Dem. nomination, she should run as an Independent or a Libertarian. That would put a twist on the Nov. G.E., don't you think so? I bet Obama and the Obamanations of America would love it.

Hillary needs to run independent!

Is it unheard of to think Barr could be serious? Is it so awful to have a third party, just because you're afraid your precious TV Star Candidate won't get all those independent votes? I'm happy to see a viable Libertarian candidate in the race, no matter the odds of him winning. Then again, I don't vote for the "winner." I vote for the person whom I believe in.

Forget it Bob!

You were part of the hate fringe, and people still remember! You can't revive hell on wheels again for the Conservatives. The lunatic fringe on the far right has shrunk. Try the far left . It is just picking up steam!

Having more choices is always a good thing.

Perhaps Bob's supports are able to spell... from reading the posts here the HRC supporters appear to be illiterate fools! I guess thats to be expected though.

As long as Hillary or McCain dont end up in thw whitehouse we will see 4 years of an administration that will work for the people and not corporations.

Save America! Anyone other than McCain or Hillary!

Right now Obama is my choice.

DO IT MAN !

We (Dems) could use a flood of Huckabee GOP SPOILERS right now to gang up on McCain as third party candidates! That would be one heck of a plot twist after all the Clinton/Obama thing has put voters through ...

jdona — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:29:21 +0000

Well, its possible the Dems who would otherwise sit out the election if their candidate doesn't win, or who would otherwise vote McCain, might decide to go with him. Either way, he could help siphon off enough votes from the Dems to have an influence. Maybe he and Nader will join forces.

All are welcome...Paul, Barr, Huckabee...come to the light. There is peace and serenity (for the Dems) in the light...

Oh, why throw another name in to the race. This would be great-Weather Vane McCain might have some votes stolen from him. Is this election over yet?

We need a third party to balance out the elitism of the Republicans and the Democrats. But the current spate of whackos that espouse a third party have been less than impressive.

These Jonny come latelys make me sick. They don't have the nerve or the drive to make a real go at the presidency, but they want to ride on somebody else's limelight. At least Clinton, and Obama and McCain have been out there. Where has this guy been?

Give me a break.

Good, get some votes away from McBush.
If I remember very well, this irrelevant guy used to be a GOP from Georgia and he was not much loved, even within his party.
