- “You ain’t seen nothing yet”November 5

That is what Bob told supporters last night in Marietta:
“I don’t know about you, but I feel like celebrating tonight,” the Libertarian nominee proclaimed as he bounded on stage in a crowded function room at the Mansour Center in Marietta. “We want to tell the American people: You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
That naturally raised the question of whether the former conservative Republican congressman from Georgia would run again. In an interview, Barr would only say, “This is the start, and not the end of something.”
The campaign also sent out a statement today:
“This year, we set a solid foundation for freedom, on which we will build a strong and united political organization that advances freedom and liberty in the United States,” says Barr. “I, and all Americans who support true liberty, owe a great debt of gratitude to our staff, donors, volunteers and voters who helped support this campaign.”

Dave Weigel has a post over at Reason about the final hours of the Barr campaign:
The call sheet is short and perfunctory, and everyone who uses it puts a slightly different spin on it. “I’m calling to ask you for your vote for former congressman and presidential candidate Bob Barr,” goes one version. “Bob Barr opposed the McCain-Obama bailout and McCain-Feingold. According to the National Taxpayers Union, only Bob Barr will cut taxes and reduce federal spending.”
Sometimes the call includes verbiage about the Second Amendment. Often, the person on the other end has something better to do.
“He already voted six weeks ago!” says Austin Petersen, a Libertarian Party worker who’s been camped out in Atlanta for the Barr campaign. “Where do they hide all these votes before the election, anyway? Are they in a box somewhere? Where’s the box?”

The office is as wide and rambling as the real estate developments that define metropolitan Georgia. A dozen people are at work, but there are almost twice as many full-stocked cubicles than staff. Typically they service the volunteers who come in on weekends to find more voters, but on the day before the election there is the hardcore staff and no one else. A flat screen TV is tuned to cable political coverage. A computer is tuned to Barr TV, which runs videos of the candidate all day long.
