Looking at the tallies, all those Bob Barr supporters, knowing full well he didn't have a chance in hell of winning anything, cost McCain IN and VA. Thanks a lot!

So why do you think they voted for Barr?

Hey, it’s the candidates and parties job to get the votes. I don’t know what happened, but they didn’t.

Don’t blame Bob Barr because the GOP put a RINO at the head of the party.

I can’t believe Indiana is lost. I just can’t believe the ticket splitting that took place that gave Daniels such a big win but allowed Obama to take the state.

You may need to add NC to the list.

I haven’t looked at the totals but think McCain’s problems were much more than VA and IN.

Oh, stop it. Barr barely outpulled Nader and that crackhead Cynthia McKinney. And vote fraud likely dwarfed them all.

I know of 2 who just so HATED Bush that they are hardly rational on the subject.

Barr and his like let their own egos ruin any realistic hope of stopping the obamanation.

No blame for that, plenty for helping elect a Euro-Socialst-Marxist..way to stand on "principle" Barr!

Well, okay, but McCain also lost Ohio, Penn., and Florida. Is that Barr's fault too.

Note: I'm not a Barr supporter.

Bob Barr is hereby declared a lifetime Ratfinkavich and forever exiled from my affections.

Win 10-15 house seats Bob and then your stupid 3rd party can talk about pretending to run a presidential candidate.

Also: I now hate McCain again. The truce is over.

"Don’t blame Bob Barr because the GOP put a RINO at the head of the party."

BINGO.

In typical RINO fashion, McCain fought this election with all the passion of a flaccid......zucchini.

Of course you could also be referring to GW Bushco.

To teach moderates a lesson. I’m several clicks to the right of El Rushbo, but i understand the election was between McCain and Obama, and Obama wasn’t a choice.

I’m stunned at Indiana. I honestly thought McCain would take the state by 5-8 points.

Man...

I would nt blame Barr. McCain is weak and a moderate who got in bed with the Democrats way too many times. We need to purge the party of anything not conservative. Starting with McCain and Colin Powell.
