Story Line: "It's Howard Dean all over again!"
I fear that the main stream media is setting up a story line. They are starting to build a Ron Paul straw man in Howard Dean's image.
CNN Nov 6th: “Ron Paul is an internet sensation just like Howard Dean (cut to Howard Dean "YEEE HAAAAAA!!!") … only better.”:mad:
2000 Story line:
Al Gore has delusion of grandeur he says he invented the internet (http://www.sethf.com/gore/)
2004 Story line:
John Kerry is a flip flopper / has disgraced himself in the military. (Swift Boat Veterans)
It does not have to be true to be the story.
(Ron Paul's supporter are crazy, Ron Paul’s supporters don’t exist, Ron Paul is running in the wrong party, Ron Paul's bots are donating money, Ron Paul donations are from stolen credit cards)
It appears to me that the media is setting up this subplot. This could damage Ron Paul's successful campaign, if overblown early expectation are not met. Without doubt there must be disappointing days in the future of this campaign.
I saw Ron Paul in an interview yesterday where he was actively managing down early expectation. I hope Dr. Paul continues along these lines as this may take some of air out of this emerging story line in my mind.
