Could Bob Barr sway presidential outcome with ‘fair tax’?

Republican Rep. John Linder is fretting aloud that Libertarian presidential candidate and fellow Georgian Bob Barr could draw enough votes from “fair tax” enthusiasts to tilt the outcome in a close state contest next November.

Linder, himself an ardent advocate of abolishing the IRS and replacing it with a form of national sales tax, said Tuesday that Barr’s support of this “fair tax” concept could win enough votes to affect the results in Michigan, Florida and even in Georgia.

The expected Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama “is going to turn out a helluva vote” in the normally safe Republican state of Georgia, Linder said.

He said he is contacting advisers of the presumptive GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain, to urge them, “Do not take this lightly.”

Linder’s prescription for solving the problem is, not surprisingly, for McCain to embrace the fair tax idea too.
