Bob Barr Invites Ron Paul to Join Ticket

Strange news reported on Below the Beltway, and confirmed on the official Bob Barr campaign website, is that he has apparently invited Ron Paul to replace Wayne Allen Root as his running mate.

Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, has invited GOP Congressman Ron Paul to be his running mate in the upcoming election. In a letter sent to Paul, Barr called Paul one of the “few American patriots” who exist in today’s society, and asked him to “seriously consider this final offer as an opportunity to show true, lasting leadership beyond party politics.”

I would be surprised if Paul accepted the offer.
