Did anyone else catch Bob Barr on the radio with Sean Hannity? Hannity discussed the rumor that has been the rounds about Barr seeking the Libertarian Party nomination for President.

Hannity asked Barr directly if he was planning to run. Barr said he was "seriously considering" it and would make a decision soon. The longer the interview got, the less friendly Hannity was (I know...big surprise there). Hannity implied that if Barr cost McCain the election that everything that happened after it would be on Bob Barr.

If you were listening in then you know that Barr sounded like a candidate. I thought he came off really well.

I'm trying to find audio or transcript of the interview. I'll have it posted as soon as possible.

[UPDATE] This is from Dave Weigel over at Reason:

When former Rep. Bob Barr arrives in Kansas City on Saturday for the Heartland Libertarian Conference, organizers expect him to launch an exploratory committee for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination. Barr is meeting with his political team on Friday to firm up plans. Right now, he's expected to fly into the city at about noon Saturday and address the conference in the early afternoon.

The Barr launch is getting to be an open secret among conference-goers. Advocacy Ink, the firm that handles Barr's public relations, is advertising the speech to local and national reporters. Mike Ferguson, the de jure organizer of the conference, is scrambling to deal with a crush of new media requests.

"It doesn't take much to put two and two together," said Ferguson. "You don't do this unless you're making the announcement."
