160px|Former Congressman Bob Barr Libertarian U.S. presidential nominee and former congressman Bob Barr is the subject of controversy today after his last minute refusal to attend former Republican presidential hopeful Congressman Ron Paul 's third party unity conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC on Wednesday. "Bob Barr's presidential campaign is effectively over," Libertarian Party co-founder David Nolan said. "His no-show at Ron Paul's...news conference — followed by an insulting suggestion that Ron should join Barr on the LP ticket in the VP slot — demonstrated just how out-of-touch the Barr campaign is, and how poor Barr's vote total is likely to be." A number of former Barr supporters have since rallied around Constitution Party presidential nominee Chuck Baldwin , who has been climbing in the polls over the past few months. Others have joined independent Ralph Nader in his presidential campaign.
