Libertarian Party Nominates Barr

A quick apology. Life interfered, and this blog wound up ignored for some time. I hope to be back for good now.

Having said that, I'd like to start with the announcement that the Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr as their candidate for President of the USA. From the LP's Web site:

"We're proud to present to the American voters Bob Barr as our
presidential nominee," says Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis.
"While Republicans and Democrats will fight for their own power in November,
Libertarians will fight for Americans.

I must admit I was surprised. Bob Barr has always struck me as a fairly right-wing Republican during his time in Congress. I believe he was even one of the leaders of the impeachment movement during Bill Clinton's administration, since he was Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee at that time. In fact, it took 6 rounds of voting before Bob Barr won the nomination, after which Wayne Allyn Root was chosen for the Libertarian candidate for Vice-President.
