On the sixth ballot, former GOP U.S. Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia has won the Libertarian Party nomination. With Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney guaranteed to get 20 or more state ballots, this is going to be a very interesting election.
Update: Thinking a little more about this, after the Dem contest has been settled [OK, let me rephrase, after Hillary comes to her senses and ends her campaign ...], Barr, McKinney, and Nader, should meet in a joint press conference and call on the two major party candidates to allow them into multiple debates between September and November, maybe even completely bypassing the Presidential Debate Commission. For whatever reason, the independent candidates refuse to come together in this way, calling on all to be seated. Well, now is the time.
