Barr reaches 11 percent in state poll
Press release
August 26, 2008 4:52 PM

ATLANTA — While Senators John McCain and Barack Obama spar over their houses and their vice president picks, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Bob Barr picks up steam in several battleground states that will play a key role in determining the outcome of the November election.

"It's hard to ignore the numbers," says Barr, who is polling in double-digits in some states according to a recent Zogby International poll released last week.

According to the poll results for 10 battleground states released on Aug. 23, Barr is polling at 11 percent in New Hampshire and 10 percent in Nevada. Barr is also polling 8 percent in Ohio, and has similar numbers across the country.

"Americans recognize that neither John McCain nor Barack Obama are agents of change in this country," Barr says, explaining his increasing poll numbers. "Senators McCain and Obama are the remnants of a political establishment that has failed the American people, and will continue to do so as long as voters give them a chance. It's time to send them a message; a message that says we will not tolerate another four years of business-as-usual in Washington."

1. Barr is going to be a factor here in NC. They may have to let him in the debates

5. I hope they don't, and that there's a big hue and cry about it.

:D

[book_worm]

2. And why does the media not point out that there is disaffection in the GOP about McCain?

3. Geeeee... I dunooooo... they're so LIBERAL and all, you'd think they'd be all over it.

:P

[denem]

4. You know why

[apnu]

6. Because the owners of the MSM (Republicans) won't let that happen.

He who owns the media, tells the producers, who tell the editors, who tell the "reporters" what can and can't be said.

If a reporter wants to have his/her words heard, they have to work withing the guidlines of the producers and editors or they story will be killed.

7. "Barr reaches 11 percent"..."Nader reaches 11 voters"

8. Glad Barr is rising. He'll pull conservatives from the GOP.

Republicans who want the Bush-McCain GOP to stop trampling the constitution.

At first it looked like he and Nader offset one another at 5% each.
