Samuel Goldman studied the value of college, while Daniel Larison uprooted political cynicism, and told Romney not to read. Rod Dreher claimed his crap, turned on affection, philosophized Episcopalianism, voted Dubya 2012, exemplified Mormons, used hypocrisy, and stayed out of the water. Scott Galupo needed Romney to go away.

Doug Bandow argued against conflict with China. Larison caught overstatements about a Venezuela threat, smelled fear in Santorum and Romney, and did not buy the serious Chavez impact. Kelley Vlahos asked if the Pentagon is really a great jobs program, and wished Carl Prine better.
