the media stops completely ignoring ron paul...his numbers shoot up. who would have suspected?!


The media is now paying attention and his numbers will go down.

CNN is pushing the guy off their show - well, he walked out.    not good.   I thought CNN would like this guy more than other Republican candidates.

Nope. Romney is their messiah, as he is the most center-left politician on the Republican ticket.

Comparatively, Ron Paul is for limited government which the media is not a great fan of. The media has never given ample time to small-government politicians, including Ron Paul. Additiionally, RP is a major threat to the right-left dichotomy which the media loves to play off of. Liberals and conservatives like him, thus making him a threat to the status quo. He's the only guy that I see being discussed by people of all parties.

If RP wins Iowa, I think there will be a more favorable reaction in the rest of the states. I think if he has a viable shot, your going to see a lot of people switch from D to R to vote for RP, and others will come out of the woodwork. Most people I know want RP to win, but are leery about his chances. A win in Iowa would remove those fears, hopefully giving him a better chance in other states.

I know CNN likes Romney cause he is most liberal of the Rebpulicans, so I would think they would want Ron Paul to win cause he has no chance against Obama.  Or maybe he does, and the media is afraid?
