The crosstab I find most interesting is the one for “Independent” voters. That one is also statistically insignificant; it also registers as 0.0% in the poll.

Noone really expects Barr to make any headway in the African-American community; to the extent that he even addresses the issues which most directly affect that communtiy, he is either wishy-washy, timid, duplicitous or worse. His continued embrace of the war on drugs and his advocacy of a national sales tax, as well as the Genarlow Wilson case (widely seen as a “racial” case), are good examples.

However, his inability to make any splash at all, in his home state, among “Independent” voters – which would apparently include at least some libertarians since only 3 choices (Dem, Rep, Ind) were available – is pretty disturbing (though not at all surprising!)

Interesting that in this Georgia poll, 40% of Barr’s support comes from Democrats.

Just now catching up on some reports.
Based on a recent GA poll, does anyone think that the outcome there could be a surprise?

Which candidates would be on the ballot in GA?

Ya, I am. I’m not sure what I can do online, especially with minimum experience with electronic stuff and what not.

I need to figure out an online volunteer position for Mike Theodore with my campaign. I may drop you an email buddy. I’m meeting with my core people (aka, people who live around here volunteering) Monday. Perhaps we can figure out a position for you if you are interested.

I just got a few spots on Revolution Broadcasting Tuesday. Ears open for Dr. Zennett!

I think it’s called V Radio.

You know, Gravel and Paul might do a speaking tour together. A series of townhall meetings. Gravel said he was up for it, but Paul might not want to do it. We’ve got to pressure them into it!

Of course, I was in a mad rush before going to the store to get yum yums! Is his show called VTV?
meh, I’ll find him in the chat somewhere. I just sent an email to the one show on Revolution Broadcasting that had an email address.
You have any ideas of any other online Gravel/Paul radio? Just off the top of your head, don’t want to hassle you.

Mike, were you “mib-e0wxd1″?

VTV (Neil) is in the chat a lot. He’s in the chat at http://www.revolutionbroadcasting.com a lot, too. Either one will work.

I went in today in a mad rush to find you. We’re all focusing on local candidates now, since theres not much anyone can do for Barr (even if you like him). But back in the chatroom he said he was interested to do an interview with Dr. Mary Zennett, whose book I’m marketing. I just got her to read the health section of Citizen Power, and she says he’s right on. I’ll email him anyway, maybe he’s interested. It’s just one of many interviews I’m trying to pull out of the hole.

I’m focusing more on local candidates, Mike.

He’s at http://www.revolutionbroadcasting.com but his show is on a hiatus. You can find him at http://www.blogtalkradio.com but I’m not sure where to find him there. If you come back to the chatroom, you can ask him. He’s there a lot.

He’s running for Congress now, FYI.

Ross,
Do you remember VTV from that chatroom? Do you know where that radio channel is, I can’t find it anywhere.

Where else do I roam into the night, Ross? I’m not that radical (as some people think I am), and I’m getting ready for Jingo’s run in 2012. But I’m a Libertarian, and I’ll work to represent our principles.
VOTE GATTIES!

Mike – did you really go seamlessly from Gravel to Barr?

Do read “The Meaning of Is” (2004) where Bob Barr repudiates directly and clearly the CCC (see pp. 143-144, 183-184). He writes, “I had been invited by the top Republican official in South Carolina to speak on impeachment to a particular group, so we made the reasonable assumption based on his recommendation that the group was legitimate. … Needless to say, that was one meeting I left as quickly as possible….”
