Libertarian Presidential Candidate Bob Barr wants to debate Sen. Barack Obama – and he’s using Sen. John McCain’s near-postponement of the first presidential debate as proof he should be allowed to. As Barr sees it, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) has no authority.

"For the past several elections, candidates have used the CPD as an official buffer to keep competition out of the two-party presidential contest," Barr says. "McCain publicly proved with his announcement what we've been saying all along: The candidates call the shots as to when to debate, where to debate and who to debate."
