This week, we get wonky, wistful, and weepy (but not because Ricochet Editor In Chief Jon Gabriel is sitting in for Peter Robinson). We get our wonk on with Washington Free Beacon Editor In Chief Matt Continetti, who gives us the elite media POV on the race, as well as a sobering look (here's the weepy part, at least for @jameslileks) at Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Spoiler alert: don't ever meet your heroes, folks. Later, we're joined by the great Byron York, who details what it's like covering a candidate whose primary method of communication is late night Tweeting. Case in point:

It's a kooky, crazy world, ain't it?
