Barr for President? The rumor is out there again...

The rumor has been out there for a while. He has denied it in the past. However, there is a story out that Bob Barr has publicly expressed interest in running for President:

Bob Barr for president?

According to the Washington Times, the former Republican congressman from Cherokee County confirms he is considering a run for president as a Libertarian.

"There is great deal [of] dissatisfaction with the candidates for the two major parties, particularly among conservatives, but also a great deal of Internet and other support for a candidate like Ron Paul who advocates libertarian and true conservative principles," Barr, who is now a Libertarian, told the newspaper.

Paul, a Republican candidate this year, was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988. The Times said Barr declined to say whether he had been approached by Paul about a presidential bid.
