Barr coming to CitadelBy Robert Behre (Contact)

At least one presidential candidate plans to campaign in South Carolina. Libertarian hopeful and former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia will speak before the Charleston Rotary Club on Sept. 30. His talk will not be open to the general public because of space limitations at The Citadel's Holliday Alumni Hall, but the club may open attendance to other Rotarians. It is not known if Barr will have any other event while in town. South Carolina voters have lined up so solidly behind GOP candidates in recent decades that there has been little presidential campaigning here. The Charleston branch of the NAACP has been trying to line up an appearance by Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic candidate Barack Obama, but that has not been firmed up. Barr served in Congress from 1995 to 2003 and currently practices law and runs a consulting firm with offices in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
