Libertarians Hunting Wabbit at Demo Convention.

Good quote from Reason Magazine's ongoing blogging coverage of the Democratic National Convention (Aug 08);

"Reason [Magazine] is a political magazine of ideas, with deeply skeptical, independent-skewing readers who have some specific fears about both a John McCain presidency and a Barack Obama restoration. Since the Democratic flock will be collected in one place, it's an excellent week for hunting wabbit. "
