Where exactly is Ron Paul in the latest polling? Do you know? According to every legitimate pollster SINGLE DIGITS!
As I have said and have been saying, Ron Paul will be lucky to break into low double digit support nation wide.
Right where he belongs.
Now how much media attention does that warrant?
Uh huh…
And are you now admitting that you were wrong? Because in this post you said “latest polling” but in the earlier post you said “ever”[/quote]
(eye roll) I am going to try to be kind but this is really difficult.
I referenced the latest poll to point out the correctness of my statement. Just as anyone would point out a piece of evidence to back up a claim.
My claim: Paul will be very lucky to break into low double digit figures. ( I doubt it will ever happen).
Reference: In fact the latest polls show him in single digits.
Please tell me that you understand this.

Yes I understand that. I wasn’t disputing that. This is what I was disputing.

When has he ever finished third and not been mentioned. Name it and I want specifics!

The example of him being third is just that, an example. The video I linked shows the pervasiveness of him not getting a fair shake in media coverage.
It really doesn’t matter if you don’t like him or his ideas. If he’s really ineffectual and wasting his time running for the Republican nomination then he will lose head to head with any other candidate despite getting fair coverage.[/quote]
You proved nothing with that video - NOTHING! I wanted specifics and unless you can give them to me you don’t know what you’re talking about. He gets a fair shake on every network that I’ve ever viewed.
From what I’ve seen and read which ever place he finishes that’s exactly how it’s reported. He gets no more, or less coverage than any other candidate who finishes as low as he usually does. What you guys want is a big splash every time the old guys shows up and breaths, It aint happening. Here’s a clue the real world is not in love with him the way you are so however much coverage he gets will never be enough to please you Paulies.
You guys need to breath the fresh air of reality. Eh…someday you will…someday soon.

This part in particular -
“From what I’ve seen and read which ever place he finishes that’s exactly how it’s reported. He gets no more, or less coverage than any other candidate who finishes as low as he usually does.”
That statement is demonstrably false by the Politico article. Did you even read it?

I’m sorry Paul is so insignificant a player I don’t feel that it matters. But if you look at the totality of the reporting for someone so insignificant I’d say over all that he’s gotten far more coverage than the other insignificant players like Huntsman and what’s his name Gary Johnson the former Governor of New Mexico.
Paul is um…how can I say this? Insignificant. No, I’ve already said that huh? Let’s put it this way, he’s looked at as a nut by those who actually know who he is (other than his 20 something supporters who think he’s God). But I guess the good part for Paul is most don’t and never will know who he is.
No one really cares except a few people on T Nation and of course me. And I like him for what YOU would say are all the wrong reasons. ![]()
If he was cheated out of an additional 15:00 of fame…well that’s why. And one more point, don’t kid yourself into thinking that if he only got more air time he would then suddenly become significant…he wouldn’t. There would just be more people out there who thinks he’s a nut.
