Apparently, I’m Lucius Vorenus, which makes a lot of sense.

I’m back from Washington, and I have an announcement for readers of the blog: Eunomia will be shifting over to The American Conservative’s site here. This will be the last post at this site (the redirect will be set up soon), and all future Eunomia blogging will be at TAC.

Romney lost statewide, as we already knew, but more remarkable is the number of districts he has lost. He lost many of them by thin margins, but that is not much consolation. It appears that he has lost almost all, except the 21st, 49th and 52nd (which he has won) and possibly the 42nd, which is very […]
Costly Failure
Wednesday, February 6th in politics
By Republican strategist Alex Vogel’s calculation, Mitt Romney is giving Gramm a run for his money. The former Massachusetts governor has spent $1.16 million per delegate, a rate that would cost him $1.33 billion to win the nomination. By contrast, Mike Huckabee’s campaign has been the height of efficiency. Delegates haven’t yet been officially apportioned, but […]
Was Anti-Mormonism A Factor Yesterday?
Wednesday, February 6th in politics
It seems to me that this is hard to discern from exit polls. First, the exit polls aren’t measuring why people voted one way or another, but which candidate they supported and which demographic groups they belong to, so the only thing we can know with any certainty is the level of support, or lack of […]
Not So Super
Tuesday, February 5th in politics
As of 11:00 Central today, Romney has won just three primaries all year and all of them are effectively his “home turf.” All of his other wins have been caucuses, many of them not strongly contested by his rivals. P.S. It’s hard to gauge the outcome from county results, but so far every county that has reported shows a […]

Eh, in any pagan Roman context (whether historical or theatrical), I can’t help thinking of you as Sulla.

That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said about me in weeks.

My pleasure - who else in Roman history (which I don’t know much of at all, I fear) better deserves the agnomen Dark Lord (”atrumus”?)?
Though I must say I was also taking into account Sulla’s remarkable skill as a general, not just his politics :}
Not sure who should be your Marius - Markos Moulitsas?

Looks like I’m Octavian.
I thought I’d be upset about that, but I’m not.
