I don't know if you're referring to what I said, but Ron clearly said why he went Republican instead of Libertarian. Remember he already tried to run for the Libertarians as president.
It's not about fit, it's about ballot access and being marginalized out of debates and for simplying being 'libertarian' you're already a marked loser candidate out of the gates. He said when he ran as a libertarian for president he spent all his time just trying to get on ballots and didn't want to deal with that again.
Barr is a pretty big hitter from the GOP though and could really leave a mark this election considering how disgusting McCain is from a Republican perspective.
