Tom DeLay's Wife Voting for Barr
An interesting development in the Presidential race. Christine DeLay, wife of former House Majority Leader is supporting Libertarian Bob Barr for President. This is obviously an interesting position for the wife of a former GOP political leader. Discontent is strong among conservatives with John McCain because of positions on immigration, violations of the 1st Amendment (McCain-Feingold), energy policy, and a number of other positions. John McCain is clearly an honorable man who has served his country more than any person should have too and has earned my deepest respect for his sacrifice.
Tom DeLay will vote for John McCain but the former House Republican leader said his wife, Christine, is planning to vote for Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr.
“I’m trying to convince my wife not to do that,” the Texas Republican told editors and reporters at The Washington Times on Friday. “She said it publicly yesterday.”
Mr. Barr’s candidacy is an issue conservatives appear to be grappling with since he won the Libertarian party’s nomination on the sixth ballot at their May 25 convention in Denver. Early polls suggest Mr. Barr could draw small but significant support in key states such as Georgia and North Carolina, potentially complicating the electoral picture for Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presumed presidential nominee.
Clearly John McCain still has much work left to do to solidify the conservative base around him.
