While I agree that the lawsuit will have trouble gaining traction, that certainly does not mean that it is without merit or that the mere filing of it condemns Barr to the “nut case” label.

However, the very fact that it will have trouble gaining traction is the very reason why its existence needs to be brought to the forefront of the public eye. Barr’s point is incredibly valid. Legally, neither candidate had been nominated by their respective party by the deadline for the Texas ballot. This is a pretty cut and dry case.

The suit against Obama, however, is completely without merit, and is, more than likely, more of a “negative PR scam” to constantly highlight Obama’s mixed citizenship, as well as any corresponding issues. Even more ridiculous is the assertion that McCain is not eligible, as he was born abroad. This “urban legend” has become quite twisted. McCain’s father was stationed at a U.S. military base in a foreign country when McCain’s mother gave birth to John on the very grounds of that post. This more than guarantees his eligibility. Imagine the ramifications if children born to families in the U.S. military were considered ineligible simply because they were abroad at the time of birth.

The gist of Barr’s lawsuit is that a real legal dilemma does exist, as well as the need for a true examination of whether or not the caucus and convention systems have any true bearing on the election process.
