My local paper just ran this story announcing that Bob Barr, former Republican US Representative and leader of the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, now local lawyer/consultant and columnist in the paper here, has announced he's going to try for the Libertarian nomination for President. He says he wants to give voters a real choice besides the nominees of the Big Two and denies being a spoiler for the GOP nominee-presumptive, John McCain.
Personally, I couldn't be more thrilled. If the Obama/Clinton soap opera primary fight goes on much longer, a Bob Barr candidacy may be all that stands between the Democrats and their usual habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this November.
