Bob Barr Says Hello to Newport News
On Wednesday evening, the Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr gave an address at Christopher Newport University's Yoder Barn Theatre to about 100 people. Making a joint appearance with Virginia's US Senate candidate Bill Redpath, Barr discussed his campaign, current events, and fielded questions along with Redpath.
Barr said that he does not feel that Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice President of the United States because someone who could have to unexpectedly step into the presidency has to have more experience than she does. Since I feel favorable to Palin, this stuck out. I thought about asking Barr during the Q&A session how his running mate, businessman and Vegas oddsmaker Wayne Allyn Root, is qualified to be Vice President, however I decided to be nice and stay mum on the subject. (After all, how relevant is Root?)
What follows are some pictures from the event. I don't think I have to say this, but ... enjoy!
Barr converses afterwards with students and/or young people
Me with Bob Barr! Yay!

Barr, contemplative
C. J., the leader of the CNU Libertarians, fields the first question from the audience. I guess sitting in the front row has the potential to be a good thing.
