Surely we've all noticed the phrasing about Rand/Ron from the talking heads. "It looks like he might win, and maybe people want him to win, and perhaps he has some good points, but he CAN'T win." I've yet to hear an explanation or sound theories from these same heads as to why the mysterious laws of nature just can't let Rand win, it's just some sort of fact, like 0 cannot equal 1.
