Barr is on the Ballot in Texas.
This can't be good for Mccain.

8. Either 8 points or 12, depending on which of the recent polls you read. nt

3. There are only about 400 people in Texas who know who Bob Barr is.
I suspect that he will have Zero impact on the presidential race.

(well, maybe a few more than 400, but not many.)

6. What Bob Barr needs is a merchandising tie-in campaign.

1) Who is your targeted audience? Racists and pot smokers.
2) What is your desired result? To get them to NOT vote for McCain.
3) How will you reach them?

Well, for the pot-heads, it's easy.

You need to contact everyone who sells marijuana in Texas and get them to name a variety of pot after Bob Barr.

For example, Barr-Bud.

And to give away Bob Barr bumper stickers with every purchase.

Now, I'm not saying you should go out and sell pot.... but if someone is already selling pot anyway... just name it Barr-Bud.

Also, Bob Barr should advertise during Adult Swim on Comedy Central.

And in the snack food aisle of local groceries and convenience stores.

5. I think the Obama campaign should compile telemarketing lists for the Bob Barr & Ron Paul campaigns
Every time a volunteer or canvasser encounters someone who says something like, "I'm not going to vote for that Moozlim!" they should give that person's contact info to Ron Paul and Bob Barr.

That is, if it's legal to do so.

7. I didn't notice. Marking the 'DEM' box at the top of the ballot, I didn't look on down.
Just marked "DEM" and then went to the two bond issues.
