I'm "writing him in" on the ballot. I read Bob Barr was an ass, yesterday;
I did not see the press conference. I'm not even sure if the Libertarian
Party is on the ballot here, but I wouldn't vote for Bob Barr anyway. There
are a lot of strange people affiliated with the Libertarian party; I think
Barr is just an opportunist. If I'm going to vote as a protest it is going
to be for Ron Paul, not the party. ...bobford

Bob; I was disappointed in Ron Paul's press conference yesterday. He
gathered all the 3rd party and independent candidates, then just
encouraged people to vote for them without endorsing anyone in
particular. That just divides the votes of those of us disgusted with
both major parties...we need someone to rally behind, but Paul isn't on
the ballot in most places.
