Why the hubbub about Ventura?

[Carl Remick]

It's astonishing the micro-scrutiny this isolated oddball Ventura is
getting on the list, while significant electoral *trends* -- like the
revived influence of unions and blacks -- go unexamined.  Is this some
sort of Kautsky-esque reaction (electoral politics are all a crock, so
you might as well stay entertained)?
