Dobbs, Barr Not Running

Neither Lou Dobbs (I) or Bob Barr (L) will be making runs for the White House as previously rumored.

"Mr. Barr has no intention of running for president. No exploratory committee, nothing," says Derek Barr who is the spokesman for Barr's Liberty Strategies as well as his son.

And Dobbs told the New York Times: "I have no interest in running, and I've said that throughout."

Barr May Get in Race

Austine Cassidy of Third Party Watch reports that a reliable source has told him that former congressman Bob Barr may run for the Libertarian nomination for President. "Though I don’t have any concrete details as of yet, the rumor is that former Congressman Bob Barr is now openly considering a Presidential bid on the Libertarian ticket," says Cassidy.

Barr served in Congress from 1995-2003 as a Republican and since then has joined the Libertarian Party and since December of last year has served as its the Southeast Region representative.
