Boston is his second-to-last stop, and the bar where Moulitsas and Armstrong will speak is filled to capacity - at least a hundred people are there, an organizer tells me. Even Moulitsas can't get in. He and Armstrong stand on the sidewalk while admirers push copies of the book at him and ask him to pose for snapshots. Moulitsas...
