Will Bob Barr keep McCain from winning?

Posted on April 14, 2008 by Lance

George Will thinks there will be a libertarian surge behind Bob Barr, keeping McCain from winning the nomination and possibly playing a Ralph Nader in 2000 type role.

Come November, Barr conceivably could be to John McCain what Ralph Nader was to Al Gore in 2000—ruinous. Nader was a weak third-party candidate but was the most consequential in American history. He won only 2,882,955 popular votes nationwide (2.7 percent), but 97,488 of them were in Florida, where, because of Nader, George W. Bush won by 537 votes.
