Ron Paul has been campaigning for the last 4 years. He has been on Fox and CNN almost constantly. People have heard his message, they know what he offers, and the vast majority rejects it as you can see by the primaries so far.

His lack of coverage now isn't a part of some vast conspiracy or even because of media sensationalism or ineptitude. Its because he's irrelevant.

I'm sure he'll win Florida though! Even though he's decided to not even bother campaigning there.



Ron Paul's main targets are states with caucuses and ones that apportion delegates proportionately. Since Florida is being penalized half its delegates and it is all-or-nothing, it would be a waste of money for Paul to campaign there.

This would be a case of seeing only what we want to see and putting on blinders for everything else. While I like your steadfast devotion to him (even while I dont think you have any clue what he actually stands for in reality) the basic fact is he got a lot of press coverage in the last 4 years. He isnt getting any now because he is irrelevant because most everyone knows he is un-electable.

Impressive to say the least. Imagine what he could do with actual coverage.


Yeah! Because they handicap things like "media coverage" when they pick a nominee, like silly isht like who got the most votes.

This time 3 years ago everyone was saying Usama would never win.





lolwut? Obama? Three years ago at this time he was already President.

Four ago he had a significant following and a lot of money rolling in.. He was definitely a player for the nomination. Iowa solidified that.
