    I'm liking Barr's moxie!

    While Barr has a few deal breaker positions as far as voting for him, I do like the job he is doing so far in helping to crack the two party system. Add to that his recent numbers indicating a possible syphoning of significant Republican votes, and he has serious potential to make this a very fun political season.

    What are the odds of him getting into the debates and bringing up these key civil liberty issues?
