Ron Paul, California Delegates, and Libertarian Doubts

|

Fox News on how California's new rules for apportioning delegates in its primary mean less-popular candidates such as Ron Paul can get big bang for the buck–for example, if he can get even a couple of thousand Republicans in the SF bay area to vote for him, it could mean three delegates at the convention.

Elsewhere in the impossibly large world of news and chatter re: Ron Paul, libertarian movement-rooted economist and New York Times columnist (and reason contributor) Tyler Cowen explains why he ain't panting for Paul. Comment thread also interesting, with musings on why some of the completely non-libertarian out there in the commentariat seem more mellow toward Paul than some ostensible libertarians.

I asked why some libertarians might be leery of Ron Paul back in July.
