Oh, I'm sorry; I thought it was a post/article he wrote after he was here.
And, yes, I am confused.
I don't think Perlstein did very well, even considering how badly he was outnumbered.
He took a brutal pounding on the rather obscure Veteran's funding issue in the early rounds, and never really got his legs under him after that.
If there was a ref, he should have called it right there, instead of letting it drag on and on like that. It was painful to watch that sort of brutality.
