Another poll, but more time for Ron in the media.

Now we need to continue this momentum with a huge showing for Black This Out.

It's amazing watching how the media ignores it when Paul wins, but went absolutely insane with wall-to-wall coverage when Cain won in Florida.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the same bunch and the same summit and straw poll where Ron got this reception last go around, wasn't it?

But, but, but

A while back everyone was hand-wringing and claiming the campaign was dead because he couldn't win the christian vote.

Top Tier.

Couldn't ask for better *proof* that Dr. Paul is being ignored, marginalized, and "blacked out." Well, unless we count the attention CBS gave him while they smeared him. :(

We need to be saving and documenting all headlines and articles that are deliberately dismissive of Dr. Paul. It would be great to have a list of the "top 10" to present to anyone who scoffs at the meme of BTO.

[Anti Federalist]

No, the new spin is fraud was committed, because a bunch of Ron Paul people showed up at a poll to, err, vote for Ron Paul.

This is no exaggeration of how this straw poll victory was reported in my small town tv evening news tonight. I'm sure that the story was read verbatim from ABC news.

Ron Paul won the Value Voters straw poll this evening However, that wasn't the big news from the event this evening........... Then they went on to talk about Romney and his mormonism. Back of the bus status for RP once again.

Paul won, but let's talk about Cain.


Ron Paul Wins Straw Poll; Cain 2nd

http://news.yahoo.com/ron-paul-wins-straw-poll-cain-2nd-193226764.html

Values voters love Ron Paul . The Texas congressman and presidential candidate who remains in the single digits in most national polls emerged as the choice of 37 percent of those who cast ballots at the annual Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, who has been surging in national presidential primary polls, came in second with 23 percent of the vote, followed by Rick Santorum who garnered 16 percent. Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann tied for fourth — both with 8 percent. Current GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, who addressed the conference on Saturday, wound up near the bottom of the pack with 4 percent. Here are the results of the straw poll:

Ron Paul – 37 percent
Herman Cain – 23 percent
Rick Santorum – 16 percent
Rick Perry – 8 percent
Michele Bachmann – 8 percent
Mitt Romney – 4 percent
Newt Gingrich – 3 percent
Jon Huntsman – 0 percent
Undecided – 1 percent

Here are the top four vice presidential choices: Michele Bachmann; Herman Cain; Marco Rubio; and Rick Santorum. Saturday’s results were very different from last year’s Values Voter straw poll. The support for both Romney and Newt Gingrich declined markedly. Last year, Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., won the straw poll and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee took second place. Paul barely registered in 2010. As ABC News’ Jason Volack reported, Rep. Paul spoke to the audience of hundreds of social conservatives in Washington earlier today, telling them that war was the greatest threat to the modern family. And ABC News’ Amy Bingham spoke with several attendees at the annual conference this weekend to take the temperature of the cultural conservative voters. Despite Paul 's straw poll win, Bingham heard lots of support for Cain, but the door is still clearly open for other candidates: Bruce Gordon of College Grove, Ore., said he supported Cain because he seems “down-to-earth.” “He came up through hard times,” Gordon said. “His success wasn’t handed to him.” Mary Lynn Scott from Le Sueur, Minn., said she was also a Cain supporter. “The biggest problem right now is the economy, and he turned two companies around,” Scott said. “He has a good approach to problem solving, a solid sense of humor, he is a man of his word and he has never been in politics. So those things are all in his favor.” Scott said that while she did not know ifCain's 9-9-9 economic plan would solve all of the country’s fiscal problems, she supports him because he has a “real plan” and it is a “good place to start.” But while Cain may have drawn the largest crowds, there was plenty of support to go around. Kelly Shackelford of Plano, Texas, said he was planning to vote for Texas Gov. Perry because “he has been around long enough and he knows what he’s doing.” “I wasn’t satisfied with the [GOP] field until Perry entered the race,” Shackelford said. “Then we finally had someone who was conservative across the board and who had the heft to compete nationally.” He said he was looking for a candidate who not only shares his views but who also has executive experience, such as a governor. “We need someone who as taken those values and then actually accomplished something through the political process with them,” Shackelford said. Perry’s recent decline in the polls is just a symptom of entering the race with so much hype, Shackelford said, adding, “Eventually, that bubble is going to burst. “I think it’s a matter of just bumps in the road,” he said. “Clearly, he has to do a better job of communicating the long list of conservative things he has accomplished.”

How exactly does that work? Paul gets the most votes but Cain has the most supporters present? Huh?

For those of you who aren't registered, I would you encourage you to do so. That way you can post comments after these biased smear pieces pawned off as news articles.

Though most of the comments are clearly supportive of Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul 2012.

Here is the link to the biased trash now being pawned off as journalism:

With statements like "The Texas congressman and presidential candidate who remains in the single digits in most national polls..."
.
Another lie.
.
Ron Paul is polling nationally in the double digits and is consistently second or third.
