Report from the Bob Barr Press Conference

[Don]

I just sat in stunned silence as Bob Barr blatantly lied to the national press corp (or the half dozen members that bothered to show up). He stated that he had not committed to attend this press conference. This is patently false. He was fully committed to attend until 30 minutes before when Russ Varney called Jesse Benton and said that Barr was out. This man has not one ounce of integrity in his body.

Adam Kokesh stood up during the press conference, denounced Barr and withdrew his support. Several others in the room quickly followed. Great job Adam!

I asked Barr Communications Director Shane Corey after the event why they pulled this stunt and was told to go f*** myself.

That implies he was legitimate in the first place. He's been a snake in the grass the whole time IMO.

I don't know about any of you, but I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Adam Kokesh. he looks like he could kill a man with his bare hands in like three seconds.

Deep down, I knew this man could not be trusted. I now have no one to vote for in AZ. I think I'll move to LA so I can vote for Ron Paul.

Actually, I was wondering about this. Could we all just get post office boxes in either Louisiana or Montana that way we have a legal address there and could vote in one of those two states for Paul? Basically do what Hillary did to qualify to run for senate in New York a number of years ago?

Anyone know the answer?

we could, but we'd be about 300 electoral college votes shy of a win.

This thread indicates that Barr signed the agreement and had good things to say about RP, even if he didn't show:

So, it doesn't look quite as though he threw RP under the bus as we feared, but solidarity would have been better.

Edit: Don, I hope this doesn't contradict your observations. My understanding is still that he lied about appearing at RP's conference.

Didn't care so much about the electoral math as about the ability to vote for Dr. Paul in the general. But hey, it would be an interesting idea. With the electorial math so close, taking Montana out of McCain's category and giving it to Paul would likely cause McCain to lose it all. It's got a really low population, maybe it should be considered. If nothing else it would force the Repubs to give us some degree of respect lest we do the same in 2012.

Baldwin is a write-in candidate in AZ.
