Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr has filed the necessary paperwork to be on the Kentucky ballot in November.

Secretary of state spokesman Les Fugate says the former Republican congressman from Georgia also submitted signatures of more than 5,000 supporters on Tuesday.

That's one of the requirements to be placed on the ballot in Kentucky.

Barr swept into Congress with more than 70 other House GOP freshmen in 1994 and gained attention as the first lawmaker to call for Clinton's resignation over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

He was one of the House prosecutors who pressed the impeachment case in the Senate.

Barr's presidential bid is a long shot at best. But some Republicans worry he could be a spoiler for John McCain in a tight presidential contest.
