Lynne did so because I’d asked her to.

And I know she did so, because, though I didn’t ask her to, she showed me her ballot.

When pressed on who he’d prefer between Barr and Ruwart by some reporter on C-SPAN, he did say Barr.

Just sayin.

He can even say, “Despite previously having no intention of running third party, the acceleration of our Nation’s economic crisis in recent days has caused me to receonsider… ” blah blah…

* sigh *

I agree that is what would of happened if Mike ever accepted. But they tried and tried and tried.

If it was sold correctly, it could of been the best unity ticket for angry Republicans, AND Democrats, AND Libertarians we have ever seen.

But Mike knew Barr was a snake the whole time. He fought against people just like him when he was in the Senate his whole career.

This eventually lead to a rumor that made it’s way to the Ruwart camp that we were in some way in league with Barr.

That could not of been further from the truth. Mike wanted nothing to do with Barr.

Honestly, Barr is probably thinking the same thing McCain thought with Palin, that in order to fix some of his own flaws, he is going to have to take a VP that is more palatable. Ron Paul as his VP is the only thing that would of clinched the third party support behind Barr at this stage in the game.

I know if he calls Mike today, he is still going to be told to get lost.

Besides, if true, it’s Starr, and we already know he doesn’t make any sense anyway, so then it not making any sense would actually make sense.

Ya sense what I’m sensing?
(That I sound like Donald Rumsfeld?)

But how do you know there’s any substance beneath the glitter?

For all we know, Root might be “all hat and no cattle.”

Obama also has his flaws. And doubtless some political scandals in his closet (few politicians don’t).

But as a man, in terms of character and integrity, with all his flaws and political scandals and dubious friends: Obama is a far better man than is Root.

When Root realized he couldn’t win, his ego probably wouldn’t let him leave the convention without a prize, so he positioned himself for VP on ticket with Barr ( I don’t recall Barr actually endorsing Root, Root pretty much implied an endorsement- though my memory could be wrong).

Root seems obsessed with Obama, his classmate. “No one remembers” Obama at school. Though some other well-known classmates can’t recall that SOB ( “son of a butcher”!) Root either. As obsessed with Obama that Root is, I would assume they actually did know each other and perhaps Root lost a dick measuring contest or something. He is obsessed with Obama and affirmative action. For such a successful millionaire, Root sure seems bitter over his perceived racist treatment 25 years ago.

I think Root has said some pretty stupid things, and anything he does say only helps McCain, really. But he certainly hasn’t done anything more offensive than Barr. That said, ideally we wouldn’t have either of these fools.

If Barr would have endorsed Kubby — even as Kubby endorsed Ruwart — that would have earned him serious cred. Kubby would have definitely beat out Root in that case, with the faction of Barr Zombies doing whatever Barr told them to do.
