Bob Barr

Bob Barr is a study in political reinvention that I find genuinely intriguing. A lawyer turned Republican congressman from Georgia, he later ran for president as the Libertarian nominee and even led the NRA, a trajectory that crosses ideological lines few politicians dare to cross. Is it conviction or shrewd repositioning? Probably some of both. As a radio host and author, he has always been a man who sells his beliefs through words, which makes him hard to pin down but never boring. I read him as someone equally stubborn about principle and skilled at packaging it, a combination that keeps him relevant.
