Entry: Barr None Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/barr_none#22430 Post contents: The keys for Barr's success are: 1) harnessing the fundraising and activism prowess of the Ron Paul rEVOLution movement for the campaign (which Ron Paul himself will probably assist in by endorsing and campaigning with Barr); 2) taking full advantage of rightwing discontentment with GOP candidate McCain; and 3) making a play for the huge voting bloc of independent voters who are completely fed up with the two major parties and want a real alternative. Moreover, with the economy looking bad, the Iraq war looking hopeless, and everybody and their grandmother crying for change (thank you, Barack Obama!), it is quite Barr could reach Ross Perot-like--double digit--levels of support in the polls and this in turn would give Barr a claim to a reserved spot in the network televised debates. And, if he really does well (or McCain's melts down and Obama stumbles) , Barr could actually have a shot at winning it all. It really helps Barr's cause that many people look at McCain as another incarnation Bush. Bush has an approval rating in the low 30's. Others see McCain in an even worse light as a sort of a Cheney on steroids. Cheney has an approval rating below 20%. Obama, on the other hand, is reputed to be the most liberal senator in Congress and has, of course, his Rev. Wright problems.
