Bob Barr could get a lot more than Nader in 2000 did.
As the Libertarian candidate (assuming he gets their nom) and former GOP bigwig in congress (led the impeachment of Clinton) he can attract both disenchanted Repubs and the 3-4% who are Libertarians. Most of these voters come from conservative end of things. Barr would pick up where Ron Paul left off. He could put a big dent in McCain's vote as McCain has completely stopped telling it like it is and has sold out to Rovian political BS tactics. In fact, McCain will now say just about anything to get elected, just another sell-out who doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself.

What happened to the conservatives? Are they organizing their own party? Are they happy under the right wing spend machine? OK with the off budget Enron like war accounting? Pleased with the crumbling bridges, highways, schools and justice system? Just wondering. They seem to have disappeared. I'm talking fiscal conservatives not the bible thumping, armageddon seeking, abstinence freaks that also grab onto the lapel pin deception.

Funny you should bring up gay right wingers though. One would think that should be an oxymoron, but they just keep popping out of the republican ranks like clockwork.
