Pundit Boxscore for Wednesday 12 November 2003

KRUGMAN VS. LUSKIN: I've been assuming that readers of Lying in Ponds are fully aware of the ongoing battle between Don Luskin and Paul Krugman, so I haven't felt that I needed to add anything or call attention to it. Ben McGrath writes an interesting account of the feud in The New Yorker (thanks to Henry Hanks for the link). I found this part interesting:

Krugman did plead guilty to one of Luskin's charges -- partisanship. "I think it's pretty clear that I'm not going to be voting Republican in 2004, and it's pretty clear that Bill Safire isn't going to be voting Democratic," he said. (Luskin, a registered libertarian, won't be voting either party.)
