I'm not expecting this election to be close. I'm expecting a blowout for Obama. Thus, I don't think that Barr's campaign will make any significant difference.
Oh, yes - the predicted blow-out, comparable to Roosevelt.

Well, "blow out" will certainly be the term, as the whole nation surrenders its collective will to a lightweight leftist with childish - and frightening - plans to turn the nation into a pseudo-socialist paradise. The economy will certainly be blown apart.

And of course you may be correct. Fear and uncertainity are at high levels today, and the temptation to worship a secular "saint" is strong. It is a terrible thing, of course, but it is true.
