We're in the ramp up period to the convention, so time will tell very quickly whether Barr can talk the talk as well as he walks the walk.</a> If he is able to put aside his past positions and come out for policy positions that are libertarian in nature, he will be nearly impossible to beat at convention and will garner more press than the LP has had in a long time.

Hopefully the site grows quickly... at the moment it doesn't look like he's taking it all that seriously.

He'll have a honeymoon period for a few days or weeks, but if he doesn't do more to win over the Libetarian base, I'm not sure he can get the nomination. I want to support Barr, because it would be a good opportunity to carry on the Ron Paul rEVOLution, but if the convention were held today, I'd probably have to vote for Ruwart or Kubby.
