Bob Barr: Whipped Cream Boob Licker

Former Georgia congressman Bab Barr has announced his candidacy for president on the Libertarian ticket. I don't know much about the guy other than he was rumored to lick whipped cream off of women's boobs at a charity event.

At least he's locked up the boob-licking vote. Could be formidable.

In all honesty this guy could affect the election. Here's how I see it:

Category 1:
-There are tens of millions of Democrats salivating at the chance for a win. That's the D base.
-There are tens of millions of Republicans who are going to vote their party no matter how bad it gets. That's the R base.

Category 2:
-There are many millions of people looking for a new direction and are going to vote for Obama. That's the anti-Bush.
-There are millions of people in the middle who are saying it's time for a new party to try governing. That's the independents.

Category 3:
-Then there are millions of Republicans who just can't stand the idea of voting for a Democrat, but are appalled at what the Republicans have done in the last 15 years. With an option like Barr on the table they can still vote their conscience--not Republican--and not have to vote for a Democrat. While it's not the two-vote swing that it would be if they voted for Obama, it's a vote lost from McCain. In this scenario Barr could be responsible for a couple percentage points here and there, something that could make a huge difference in swing states.

Something to watch.
