DRUDGEBOMB

I'm liking Politico today...

[sailingaway]

I would not drudge bomb this, it could be read as us whining and he might take down one of the others,and I like those best. But I like the coverage, too.

[Badger Paul]

Glad to see the campaign speaking out about this. I have a good feeling this has gotten so ridiculous that there's a backlash which will benefit us.

[Patrick Henry]

I don't like how Benton said "long shot".

[liberalnurse]

The quotes from the campaign were ok. The rest just seemed to blame us. Didn't like the article overall.

[Pheonix]

Wow, the article is now the featured news on Politico's main page!

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I don't like how Benton said "long shot".Yes, that made me mad. They need to banish all that language from their vocabulary. Don't we get enough of that crap from the media?

[pacu44]

Exactly.

If we are saying it. What is to be expected from those with the camera and an agendal...

[Rede]

Yes, that made me mad. They need to banish all that language from their vocabulary.

People like to root for the underdog... as long as he has a chance. That was what the straw poll is supposed to show: that he has a shot at all.

[musicmax]

I don't like how Benton said "long shot".

Or how Ivers said "fringe" and "radical".

[Jingles]

I was never one who believed the Paulies about the censorship, but , after seeing Fox News air the online poll for a few seconds with Perry ahead, after Paul had already taken the lead, I was astounded by the false reporting.

The Willis Report excluded Paul from the front runner poll on her site. After Paul had already stomped Candidates Perry, Romney, and Bachmann in an earlier poll.

One of the comments. This stuff its getting obvious to people now. This is definitely a good thing. I attribute it to his rise in popularity over these past couple years, polls, everything really that everyone has been doing for this movement. I think people in general take him seriously now (even if they disagree with him). So people are like, "EXCUSE ME WTF ARE YOU DOIN MSM!?" This blackout is going to seriously going to backlash on them this time. Its like the forbidden fruit angle, "This guy does well in polls and has very passionate supporters but the media refuses to support him. Why? What is it about him that they won't report. Forget what they tell me I want to find out for myself." Annnndddddd BAMMMMMM Down the Rabbit hole they go to discover the message of liberty. Its the curiosity and the desire to know/learn that helps people get into the message. We make ground with open minds.

That's what got me. "Who is this Ron Paul guy, why have I never heard of him, and why does everyone get so excited about him?"

[freedom-maniac]

"I think everybody is scared of Ron Paul,” Benton said

I can feel it.

[John of Des Moines]

Use the word "Underdog"

"Of course he's the Underdog ..." It sound then long shot

And instead of a secret energy pill kept in a ring, Dr. Paul uses secret constitutional knowledge kept in his brain.
