Off the top of my head, i can tell you that Bob Barr cost McCain North Carolina.

OBAMA 2,123,390 

MCCAIN 2,109,698

BARR 25,419

Now, if your boy mccain had the spine to make it a closer race, and it would have been a nailbiter, He sure would have missed NC's 15 electoral votes. 

I could dig up more places he influenced outcome, but it's time to eat.

No you can't.   ::) 

Assuming every liberartian who voted for Barr in North Carolina would have voted for McCain, then yes he cost McCain North Carolina.  Can you prove this?  (Pretty much a rhetorical question).  Most people smart enough to actually listen to that idiot wouldn't vote for him.   

How did he do in his home state of Georgia?   :)

lol.  Over 3.8 million voted for McCain and Obama, with Obama getting 2,048,244 votes.  The people of Georgia were smart enough not to vote for that dummy.
