The Other Candidates

Everyone knows all about Barack Obama and John McCain, but don't forget about Bob Barr and Ralph Nader.




Robert Laurence "Bob" Barr, Jr.(born November 5, 1948) is the Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election. He is a former federal prosecutor and a former member of the United States House of Representatives. He represented Georgia's 7th congressional district as a Republican from 1995 to 2003.

Barr attained national prominence as one of the leaders of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Barr joined the Libertarian Party in 2006, and until May 2008 served on its National Committee.




Ralph Nader (born February 27, 1934) is an American attorney, author, lecturer, political activist, and perennial candidate for President of the United States in five elections, including the current election, with his role in the 2000 election in particular being subject to much debate. Areas of particular concern to Nader are consumer rights, humanitarianism, environmentalism, and democratic government.
