Bob Barr served as a colorful congressman from Georgia between 1995 and 2003
. Now, he’s considering a comeback.
Barr told The Daily Caller that “some supporters are encouraging me” to
run for Congress in 2012. He noted that because of redistricting, “much of
the new 14th District was part of my old 7th District.”
The race would likely pit Barr against Republican Rep. Tom Graves, who was
elected in 2010.
