In this week's issue, coming on Friday, TIME magazine suggests that former Rep. Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for president, "could help nudge the Presidency to Barack Obama."
Nathan Thornburgh observes, "Since 2000, Libertarian candidates have peeled off enough votes from Republican congressional candidates to cost the party races in Washington, Nevada, Montana and, most recently, Louisiana ... Now there's the Libertarian Party, which sold a little bit of its hard-line liberty-loving soul in exchange for the most respectable candidate it has ever had: recently converted former Republican Congressman Bob Barr, who's polling nationally near 6% and could conceivably Naderize John McCain in a few key states and help nudge the presidency to Barack Obama."
The article is titled, "The (Not So) Lunatic Fringe." Ron Paul remains, at best, lukewarm about Barr, but the article concludes: "Libertarians are getting ready for the mainstream, and mainstream America may finally be ready for them."
