Post-publication Peer-review in PLoS-ONE, pars premiere [A Blog Around The Clock]

A Clinton Review

From a reader: I thought it was formulaic and anemic. Clinton has a rare skill for connecting with people, especially hardcore Democrats, and for delivering these types of speeches with passion. The only time he showed any passion, and got some back from the crowd, was when throwing out anti-R...
