According to my news sources on the internet, former US Representative Bob Barr, who was on television every night while the House was impeaching Bill Clinton, is planning to seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party for president.
This is interesting because for a long time, Bob Barr was the poster boy for rightwing Republicanism. You name a conservative cause, he be for it. There are a lot of rightwingers who've been planning on holding their noses and voting for Top Gun just because they can't handle the idea of that woman or that Black Muslim in the White House. Now there might be an alternative for the conservative lunatic fringe.
What'll be neat is if Bob Barr winds up being to Top Gun what Ralph Nader was to Al Gore in 2000, particularly in a couple of states like Florida or Ohio. The Dems are dead set on self-destruction so it might not matter in the long run, but at least the prospect might add a little spice to an event that's shaping up to be fairly dreary.
