ATLANTA— Bob Barr’s longshot presidential bid is in some ways as much about sending a signal to the Republicans, his former party, as it is about earning a respectable showing Tuesday for his Libertarian Party.
The former Republican congressman has focused on places where he can hurt the GOP the most, eyeing Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia and Georgia — states where the Democrat-Republican race is tight and where he sees “an opportunity for a real impact.”
“If the Republican Party hasn’t gotten its message already, I don’t think it will,” Barr said. “The message is: Y’all have no vision, no message. And that’s why we’re running this campaign.”
