How much will Bob Barr affect this election? |
|
It's not something I hear much about, and I've been unsuccessful in finding any relevant polling as far as a four-way race is concerned (Obama, McDoucheBag, Nader, and Barr). Although, I heard several months ago that Barr was polling at something like 10% in Georgia (or something). Just curious to see if anyone can point me in the right direction. If what I heard a few months ago is true, that could be GREAT for us in November. Thanks in advance! :)

1. 'Pubs seem to be in jack-booted lockstep. |
|
I don't know that Bob Barr on the ballot or a Ron Paul write-in will affect McCain all that much. When it comes down to it, I see 98% of the 'pubs being loyal to the party line.

an option outside of McCain.

4. Sadly, not much anymore. |
|
Before Palin was picked, he may have picked off 2-3 percent in states like GA & SC. But now the right wing cons have rallied to McCain because of Miss Congeniality.

5. zip, the right is too good at taking their marching orders |
|
They do it because they are told. Unfortunately, we don't have that clout with the Nader voters. I understand why most Nader voters vote the way they do but they don't seem to understand the price we and the world pay. If they want to vote that way in bright red or bright blue states that's fine but where every vote counts we can't afford for them to be so stubborn.
