Who knows what Sanchez is up to, but Cato is certainly on to something with that dress code. Hope you didn't get in trouble for spilling the beans.

But, we vote and support more for expressive than instrumental reasons (because we don't expect to change the outcome of the election). And, Ron Paul often makes many of us cringe. That makes it harder to offer enthusiastic support. But, if any libertarian will change the outcome of the election through his advocacy, it should be Will. Once again, it was a great BloggingHeads; and he makes a wonderful non-crackpot representative of the rising tide of libertarian influence.

Seems to me that any libertarian– given the rest of field of candidates– should love Ron Paul as a presidential candidate.
