I participated in a debate last night at Cornell sponsored by Students for Education Reform to encourage an exchange of ideas on education policy. I was on the libertarian panel, which was wedged between the College Democrats and Republicans. It was a fairly heated debate: “Libertarians...
Frank Luntz did a focus group on Hannity last night regarding the Las Vegas debate. The group confirmed my view that Newt is rising. I can't find a video of it, but NewsMax has a partial transcript. The group found that Newt won the debate hands down,...
There are conflicting reports, as detailed in the live updates at The Telegraph. Updates: I'll wait a bit before updating the headline, but it appears he's dead (photo at The Telegraph link). DEBKAFile says he's dead, killed in NATO airstrike near his hometown of Sirte. PJTatler has al-Jaeera...
