By Mona

I don’t know who is going to win and you don’t either. But I’ll call it for the Patriots. When New York lost to New England by three a month ago they were playing at home. Now they’re not.

Doctor Doctor

James Joyner points out that, when it comes to votes, the Ron Paul REVOLution has flatlined. His tentative theory:
Could it be that hard-core libertarians are just a relatively small group? That, despite being organized and enthusiastic, there aren’t enough of them to elect a president? Barring a better explanation, I’m leaning in that direction.
