Third-Party Vote Totals

Ralph Nader: 644,101 (.53%) Bob Barr: 481,858 (.40%) Chuck Baldwin: 172,135 (.14%) Given the left’s swoon for Obama, including the formerly antiwar left, Ralph did OK, especially since he got almost no press coverage. Ironic that this year, of all years, the Libertarians decided to become Republicans, rejecting their libertarian platform and a libertarian nominee. Barr did get the most MSM coverage of any LP presidential candidate in history. UPDATE Here are all the third-party candidates’ totals. UPDATE from Norm: “In his final press release, ex-prosecutor, ex-CIA agent Barr supports the financial police state.”
