Anecdotally, I know of a couple of former committed Barr voters who will now only vote for him if the race is too far gone one way or the other in their states for thier votes to matter. If it is close, they’ll vote McCain/Palin.

Palin was the factor in both cases.

Palin was the factor in both cases.

As opposed to Obama? It's like we've been trying to shoot ourselves in the foot this election cycle. It took Palin to get some of these people to commit to voting against Obama? Jeez.

Interesting anecdotal evidence. I don’t see how 4-6% of the popular vote is “irrelevant” to either McCain or Obama.

Although I liked alot of what Barr had to say when he was interviewed on Glenn Beck, I was also worried that he could really hurt McCain’s chances.

I hate to admit it, but I was going to vote for Barr untill Friday.

I didn’t really care for Barr himself, but his running mate Wayne Root was someone I was really pulling for.

Even though I still like Waynes message, Palin is the new direction this country needs.
