Just hung up the phone with nat'l campaign headquarters.

Ron is NOT doing the Beck thing.

Ron WILL be interviewed on CNN by Wolf Blitzer at 5:10pm Eastern today.

That's good. I (thankfully) don't watch Glenn or Wolf Biltzer. Is Wolf a better interviewer? Will he give Ron Paul time to talk?

An even one-on-one is where Ron really shines. Pray for him today, if you are a believer, that he finds a friendlier *and* more aggressive demeanor by tonight.

According to Mr. Rockwell, an interview with Wolf B is MUCH better than the Beck thing, and will be MUCH better than that Hannity "here let me shout the man down" bullshit from last night precisely because Wolf will allow Ron to speak (and therefore, make his points.)

Good deal. You might want to edit your first post saying that. ;)

And hopefully Wolfie gets bigger ratings than Beck so more people will be exposed to the good doctor.

If nothing else, from what I've seen, Blitzer seems pretty level headed. He may not agree with anything Dr. Paul says, but I don't seem him getting rabid or foaming at the mouth rudely like Hannity did last night. There's nothing wrong with asking tough questions as long as the interviewer is civil and gives the guest time to respond without making judgments for the audience.

The only problem I foresee is that Paul has logical well thought out explanations for having the stances he does. Will he ever be able to fit them in a 3 second soundbite?

I'm not so sure a Wolf Blitzer interview will be a great thing... obviously the exposure is good, but Wolf... he's very subtle and has extensive connections to Israel and AIPAC... he may try to paint Ron Paul as an anti-semite because his non-interventionist stance is obviously the complete opposite of what Israel wants - they spend millions on our congress to engender a pro mideast interventionist policy. We'll see, perhaps Blitzer will either be a good reporter or unable to stand up to Paul's frank honesty.

Good point about Wolf. I just hope they can get to a topic other than the war, so that Paul can show his chops as a candidate against spending, against reckless immigration policies, and in favor of civil rights.

Great! time to rebuttal

Does anyone have a confirmation that Paul will be on Blitzer tonight? I haven't seen anything listed on CNN. Glen Beck still seems to think Paul will be on his show at 7 tonight on headline news:

Dr, I got the news direct from Nat'l campaign HQ. Lew has blogged it as well.

So, I guess Beck hasn't gotten the memo yet. Thanks! I just saw another post about this too.

Blitzer. That's a hoot. Dr. Paul will have to check his brains at the door to make it an even contest.

Wolf and some reporter guy just talked about the exchange last night.

Wolf said Paul will be on the program in the next hour.
