Barr announces bid for Libertarian ticket
Former Republican Rep. Bob Barr launched a Libertarian Party presidential bid Monday, saying voters are hungry for an alternative to the status quo who would dramatically cut the federal government.
His candidacy throws a wild card into the White House race that many believe could peel away votes from Republican Sen. John McCain given the candidates’ similar positions on fiscal policy.
Barr said he is not getting into the race to play spoiler or to make a point. “I’ve heard from Americans from all walks of life ... they want a choice,” he said. “They believe that America has more and better to offer than what the current political situation is serving up to us.”
