Ever notice that Bob Barr supporters look like Bob Barr?
On the DC metro I've seen three so far wearing Barr '08 buttons. All of them were middle aged, balding, tired looking men with scraggly mustaches who quite honestly looked a lot like the candidate himself.

I wish I could do Photoshop so I could better illustrate. :+

5. Yes, smart. He's taking 3-7% of the vote from McCain. Try not to loathe him. /nt

7. I have noticed that a lot of Bush Admin officials and prominent Repugs look alike.
Karl Rove, Dennis Hastert, Michael Hayden, Phil Gramm, even John Hagee. Pudgy pasty middle-aged white guys.

8. I get the feeling that Barr is purposely running as a spoiler
It's not just that conservatives are not excited about McCain, but there are several - including Rick Santorum - who are on the record as actively disliking him - whether it's a personality issue, or they think it would hurt the conservative cause more to actually let him win the presidency instead of Obama.

9. If you watched the event they held to elect him, there were lots of young pot smokers there..
Tons of people with their Legalize Marijuana shirts on.

I also heard on MSNBC today that he's starting to gain in New Mexico and a few other states.. GOOD!!

He's not getting a ton of media coverage, but he's definitely getting more than Nader.

10. Lay off Bob Barr...
he could be responsible for narrow wins favoring Obama in a few states. He is the "PUMA" of the Republican world...but with a little more weight.

He IS NOT a hindrance to the Obama campaign...au contraire.

Ergo, though it may be difficult, find only positive things to say about him.

12. All secret Government cloning experiments gone awry.
Don't worry, the project is limited in scope and will be shut down soon,
as most of the clones are missing certain features, usually a brain.
