New Polling Numbers for Bob Barr!
I don't agree with him, I won't vote for him. I won't donate to him ... but for some reason I smile inside when I hear his name.

To top off the end of a great week, late last night we received an alert from the polling firm, Zogby International.

In the first comprehensive general election poll (a sample of over 46,000 likely voters), Bob Barr is now at six percent nationally!

...


David was there in 1992 when Ross Perot, then polling at seven percent nationally, was included in the debates with Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.

There are many reasons why this is great news for us but when I read the poll, two words came to my mind immediately: four points.

Four percentage points are all that we need to get into the Google/YouTube presidential debate that is scheduled for September 18th.

According to the debate rules we need to break ten percent in at least three polls before the debate starts in New Orleans.


Personally, I think if Bob Barr was included in the debates, he might "stimulate" some disaffected Rebublicans who would only be willing to cast a nose-held vote for McCain.

1. Run Bob, run!
He should more than negate the Nader vote.

2. Is that enough to get him in the debates?
One of my biggest disappointments is that Ron Paul wasn't chosen as the Presidential candidate for the Libs. He would have easily pulled 5-10% away from McCain.
