Bob Barr gains Libertarian Party nod.(Inside Track)(Brief article)
It took six ballots before Bob Barr, a former four-term Republican Congressman from Georgia, won the nomination of the Libertarian Party at its Denver Convention on the Memorial Day weekend. An energetic throng gave him a 324-276 victory over Mary Ruwart. He immediately asked the convention to tap Wayne Allyn Root as his running mate, which it did. Root dropped out after the fifth ballot and threw his support to Barr.

Bob Barr left the GOP in 2006 and opted for the Libertarians claiming: "The American voters deserve better than the lesser of two evils." He regularly states that his main reasons for bolting include dismay at consistent Republican backing for bloated spending and attacks on civil liberties.
