Ron Paul kicks RedState butt

A follow-up on the RedState decision to ban the posting of positive comments about Ron Paul while continuing to permit the posting of negative commentary. Andrew Sullivan asked if RedState was "Frightened much?" Justin Gardner at Donklephant also had questions:

The sad answer, is that this is a textbook case of P.E. (Popularity Envy). Ron Paul is simply bigger than RedState, and this is understandably difficult for Erick and company to accept.

When you really look at it, it is kind of pathetic.

Divided and Balanced.™ Now that is fair.
