If Obama is the Presidential candidate, the Dem turn-out will be HUGE, and Barr running as a libertarian for Senate would demolish Chambliss’s support.

The only folks supporting Chambliss are the lamentable GOP partisans who have no sense of principle.

Barr might even end up in the run-off instead of Chambliss.

Lots of folks in the GOP cannot stand Saxby Chambliss and are looking for some courageous soul to step forward and take him on.

Since we have runoffs in this state, I don’t think that would happen. It’s basically what occured in Paul Coverdell’s first election – he had to win 4 elections in one year before he became a US Senator.

Jack’s Post,

Need we remind you of Dennis Kucinich?

Although every time he opens his mouth, the AJC’s David Beasley (op/ed editor, FYI) prints every word on the op/ed pages. Barr’s a good writer at least. Wonky, but readable for the most part. Does that make him a good Libertarian? Beats Boortz I suppose.

I’d join the Facebook group. Maybe. As long as supporting the candidacy didn’t require anything more than two clicks a year.

I think Barr could swing enough votes away from Saxby to put a Democrat in that seat. Either way, we get rid of Saxby, and then an actual conservative can challenge for the seat in six years.

I would definitely “jump ship” from McCain to Barr, if Barr is the LP nominee.

I crossed my fingers hoping he (Barr) would go against Saxby in the senate race. With as much disgust with Saxby as there is in the state it would be a perfect year for a high profile Libertarian to take control of his seat.

That is, as someone else said,
“unless he did the standard Libertatian miscue of picking the wrong issue to campaign on (drug/prostitution legalization come to mind).”

lighten up, get a life.

No different from Dems or Reps, which are used frequently around here as well.

It would even be nice to have a conservative senator or governor in Georgia.
