Concerning that Barr Global Warming Strategy I posted about a couple of months ago, well forget that.

I give strategic credit to Barr, the guy can flip-flop with the best of them. And it's not too difficult to discern the motivation behind the change of strategy. The last month, there has been quite a bit of flip-flopping occurring on both sides of the isle in terms of domestic drilling, driven by record gas prices. Mccain has since flipped on both domestic drilling and cap-and trade. The political calculus has since changed on this issue.

With Al Gore publicly stating that voices such as Barr should be included in the public debate vis a vis Climate Change public policy, and Barr then immediately calling for himself to be included in a serious debate with the other 2 major candidates on the serious issue of "climate change," it's pretty clear now what the Barr strategy is. Get in a debate, any debate, whatever the means, with Obama and Mccain. There is even scuttlebutt that the Barr Campaign is actively going to try to leverage Barr's FISA position with the progressive community to somehow create a blogosphere buzz for Barr's inclusion in the debates.

I give credit to the Barr Campaign, they are at least trying...

UPDATE:

Barr crashes Netroots Nation

Robert Novak is reporting that GOP strategists are now privately conceding that Barr could cost McCain Georgia
