Here's to hoping Bob Barr wins this lawsuit! If he does, McCain can lose 34 electoral votes.

Quote

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr is trying to force a long-shot legal showdown in the Texas Supreme Court to keep Barack Obama and John McCain off the November ballot.

The issue is whether both major parties certified their presidential and vice presidential candidates by the Aug. 26 deadline to get on the Texas ballot. The attorney general argues that the secretary of state already has decided to place the names on the ballot, so the lawsuit has no merit.

Technicaly, he's right. As to whether that will matter....

Barr followed the law and Obama and McCain did not.  It's simple.

Would Mccain let barr on the ballot in TX (or any other state) if Barr had missed the deadline?

Exactly. But we all know that's not going to matter in a Texas court.
