Bob Barr, who served in Congress as a Republican but is now registered with the Libertarian Party, today formally announced his entry into the Presidential race, and as the only candidate for his party’s nomination who has actually won a significant election, will likely be the Libertarian candidate this fall. Can Barr harness the energy from the libertarian-minded Ron Paul campaign and mount a disruptive third-party run? Or is he doomed to receiving a miniscule portion of the popular vote, as has been the case with past Libertarian presidential candidates?

Update: This post has been changed to clarify the paragraphs speculating on the acquisition of the Ron Paul list.

A Facebook group tries to recapture the Spirit of '92 but gets obsessed with privacy instead; another Facebook group finds a million people who dislike George Bush; Tom Hanks posts a video in support of MySpace; Lamont Williams, where art thou?; Craig Newmark also supports Obama; Ron Paul publishes a book; and Bob Barr is set to run for president and launches a YouTube channel to prove it.
