Obama in Georgia

Common Sense has harped on the fact that Georgia may actually be in play this November as a result of Bob Barr's entrance into the presidential contest and John McCain's poorly run campaign thus far. To further illustrate the fact, Barack Obama will hold a fundraiser in Atlanta on 7 July at $2300.00 per person, the most an individual can contribute to a campaign as a result of the new finance laws that McCain negotiated through the Senate, the President signed into law, and the courts upheld.

Speaking of Bob Barr, he appeared on Fox this Sunday with Chris Wallace. Theoretically, Barr has a lot to offer conservatives and libertarians, but unfortunately, Barr comes off as stiff and very impersonal. He also has some baggage he'll need to deal with that contradict his libertarian position, i.e., voting for the Patriot Act, voting for the war in Iraq, etc. Just like any other politician, Barr will have to answer for these inconsistencies. If he can reconcile his positions he will be a force to reckon with; if he cannot reconcile these positions, he won't be any more effective than independent candidate, Ralph Nader.

It's been 2684 days since there's been an attack on US soil. Good day and God bless.
