LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Barr should withdraw from race
By Ben Sarbey | Sep. 14, 2008It is a travesty that Rep. Bob Barr really doesn't stand a chance in the national election. His beliefs more closely coincide with mine; however, I am still convinced that a vote for Barr is a vote thrown away. I refuse to stoop my vote down to the level of mere symbolism. I crave real world results, and I truly want what's best for my country. Thus, I must decide who is the lesser of two evils - McCain or Obama?
