I caught a brief moment of Bob Barr (2008 Libertarian candidate for president) on CNN this morning. The host was asking him to explain why he was running. He revealed no illusions that he might win and claimed that he wanted to play the role of Ross Perot and influence policy debates.
CNN host: "So you call it [being] a spoiler?"
Barr: "No, we call it a public policy advocate."
