Iowa GOP & Fox News Try to Ignore Ron Paul
Posted by Casey Khan at November 9, 2007 10:52 AM
Looks like the Iowa GOP is having a debate with none other than Fox News on December 4th. Further, it looks like they are trying to exclude Ron Paul from the debate by use of polling data. Paul registers less than 5% on national and local polls. Of course polling data, as we all know, can be manipulated as easily as manipulating data to prove the existence of global warming.
Meanwhile the Iowa GOP fails to look at the one statistic which can't be easily fudged, campaign contributions. Of course with that stat, Ron Paul is about to out raise what Giuliani and Thompson did last quarter.
While some are worried that Ron Paul might not go to the debate, I say all to the benefit of the good doctor. Just like the last rejection at Hy-Vee hall, this time Paul could again set up a venue next door doing a point by point refutation of the other candidates in the "debate" in front of a crowd of thousands. Ron Paul could invite CNN, MSNBC, or any other non-Fox News outlet. It would make far bigger news than the who's more macho and holier than thou game show put on by Fox News. Why will CNN and MSNBC show up? Because Ron Paul is now understood to be good for the media business.
