My commentary yesterday on the presidential contest seemed to strike a nerve; at least it got picked up at a large number of sites, including Andrew Sullivan (calling this blog “estimable”), Tom Palmer (that word again!), Reason “Hit and Run”, Andrew Tobias, PrestoPundit, and many others. The number of visitors more than doubled from an ordinary day, to 14,353, which may or may not be a record. Tom Veal at Stromata wrote a lengthy response from a pro-Bush point of view, and there was a lot of email too, including several from valued friends who take issue with my position. It’ll be a while before I can read or respond to all the mail, but that’s true even in less busy times than this.
