 The Libertarian party elected Bob Barr as their nominee for President of the United States receiving 52.9% of the delegate vote.
United under the philosophy of government minimalism, Libertarian national party delegates met in Denver Sunday to select their candidate. The process went through six rounds of ballots before the final candidate was chosen.
Before becoming the party's candidate, Bob Barr was a Republican U.S. Congress Representative from Georgia. In 2006, Barr became a Libertarian then quickly rose to power after joining the National Committee in 2008.
Dr. Mary Ruwart, received the second most votes capturing 45.1% in the final round. She would have become the party's first female candidate on top of the ticket. Before her candidacy, she was known as a longtime Libertarian activist and writer of the book, Healing Our World: The Other Piece of the Puzzle.

Shortly after President Bush vetoed the farm bill sent to him by Congress, the House overwhelmingly voted to override the veto. The Senate was expected to second the override which would nullify the President's veto.
However, before that could happen, a stunning discovery was made. The congress omitted 34 pages from the bill that was sent to the President which means that the bill Bush vetoed was not the same one that the Congress had passed.
The mistake has left lawmakers scrambling to correct the situation. The Congress will likely have to vote again on the bill and resend it to the President. The current farm bill is set to expire Friday which is probably not enough time to pass a "new" one.
