They will ask about the stupid video repeatedly.

Does anyone know why the establishment has this weird bipartisan over-protective thing going with Huntsman?

We saw this coming from a mile away. :rolleyes: They want to surge Huntsman because a) it keeps things entertaining (they're all about entertainment, not news, remember) and b) it keeps Ron Paul's momentum down. They don't care who gets in the White House as long as it isn't Ron Paul, because he's the only one who won't be a crony puppet.

Honestly, these reports on the video should be a dead giveaway. They give Huntsman's side plenty of talking time without any rebuttal from Ron Paul. They pin something bad on Ron Paul while making Huntsman look good. And they didn't even check as to who was behind the video, or why their account was created yesterday. I'm not a conspiracy person but honestly the media's behavior throughout this election is easier explained by "conspiracy" than whatever other explanation there could possibly be.

Still, no other candidate got this kind of protection from both sides of the media.

[ventron]

Still, no other candidate got this kind of protection from both sides of the media.

1) NH's primary is only days away. They need to push the "surge"as hard as they can.
2) Huntsman is further to the Left than other candidates, remember.

Ask Huntsman a tough question at a town hall meeting and Fox will burn down your house that night when you are sleeping. That's how ridiculous it is.

[Bruno]

After NH, the media will have no more use for Huntsmann.

[Matt Collins]

Coming up in a few hours

[nbruno322]

Awesome!!!

Doug Wead is the best and most articulate media spokesman for the campaign. Hope this trend of him getting on tv more continues.

[green73]

Stream?

[nbruno322]

BUMP

Please youtubers capture this!

Also, is there a stream??

[Eric21ND]

[The Binghamton Patriot]

bump bump bump it up

[RileyE104]

Awesome!!!

Bruce Fein is right up there with him as well.. IDK why he hasn't done more interviews, I've only seen the one from about three months back.

Also, the Press Secretary, Garry (Howard?) -- He was exceptional on MSNBC. Nothing but straight forward answers.

[king_nothing_]

Doug did great as usual. Interviewer is a huge tool.

[IterTemporis]

3rd party questions, does RP prefer Barack Obama or Romney, SC poll.

[AlexAmore]

"Fox News recovering after Wead strikes dropped major Truth Bombs"

[bronxboy10]

Great interview.

Best parts:

1) Republicans need to accept the young voters who support Ron Paul into the Republican party.

2) Mentioned that Goldman Sachs is the top donor to both Obama & Romney. Also mentioned 2 or 3 other major banks (Barclays, ???) that are in the top 20 donor list of Romney.

[nbruno322]

TUBE PLZZZZ

[KramerDSP]

Doug Wead is unstoppable. I hate that host, but Doug Wead turned around every question and made everyone watching realize a few things.

1) Ron Paul is a very religious man who takes his word very seriously and will not commit to a YES or a NO on a third party run, even though he has no intentions of running third party.

2) Ron Paul supporters may not support whoever Ron Paul endorses if he is not the nominee, even if the planks include auditing the Fed and reducing the wars, because they don't trust anyone but him.

3) Many ex-Obama voters are running en masse to the Paul camp.

4) Romney and Obama's top supporters are Goldman Sachs. People are pissed and they want real answers.

5) This is a marathon race. Lightning can spark.

Wead looks so confident. He must know they're on the verge of something incredible.

[texasbelle]

"Fox News recovering after Wead strikes dropped major Truth Bombs"

No kidding! He slipped in there that BOTH Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's largest donor was Goldman-Sachs.

[jamezelle]

can't wait to see this

[Sola_Fide]

It was good.

Fox still doesn't understand that they can't win without us. I wish Wead would have pressed this point a little more. Still good overall.

[Bruno]

Didn't he call Doug "John" twice?

[opinionatedfool]

Doug Wead did great! I'm glad Ron Paul has him on the team.

[DealzOnWheelz]

Tubez or it never happened!!

[splint]

Didn't he call Doug "John" twice?

yeah, i definitely heard it. Homerun by Doug Wead btw.

[Johnnybags]

Goldman Sachs attached to Mitt at every turn. LOL. Mr Goldman Sachs, that will work out well.

[RPit]

Tube!

[Eric21ND]

Fox pundit is a smarmy douche.

[nano1895]

there a tube of this?

[nbruno322]

Doug Wead is def the most articulate spokesman for the campaign!

Hope he gets on tv and radio as MUCH as possible.

[green73]

2b?

[Publicani]

Doug, great job. Again!
One small comment. You correctly say that young people will not vote for anybody else even if Ron Paul tells them so. You are right. But this is true not only with regard to the young people. I am not young - and I will not vote for anybody else. My mother is 86 years old, who had been a Democrat and she registered Republican to vote for Ron Paul. There is nothing Ron Paul can tell her to convince her to vote for anybody else.
And the reason is we don't see a big difference between Obama and Bush or any other Republican candidates except Ron Paul.

[nbruno322]

Still waiting for a tube...is anyone uploading or is there a link to it on fox's site?

[ZanZibar]

2b?Or not 2b

I hear ya, the young people thing is waaaaaay overplayed. I'm not young either. It's just another way of discounting the message.

[Publicani]

It's just another way of discounting the message.
Exactly. I understand that this is the way for the campaign to counter Ron's age. But you can say "A lot of people, including young..." Otherwise you give ammo to Gingrich who says people support RP because he wants to legalize drugs.

[Andrew Ryan]

tube?

[nbruno322]

still waiting for this.....

[pacelli]

The only one from today on youtube right now is the MSNBC one.

Go doug!

[pauliticalfan]

That host is a smarmy douche.

[Feeding the Abscess]

Ron has been slowly rising in South Carolina. He was in low to mid single digits as recently as a month or two ago.

[ONUV]

gregg jarrett obnoxious.

[RileyE104]

Am I missing something?? "Ron Paul down by over 20 points!" -- ???

2) RCP average of 12.6% between December 12 and January 5th?? First off, his total RCP average is 20.2... If you take just 12/12-1/5 it's 19.58%

NVM about the RCP average, they're talking about his national numbers not New Hampshire. But still, down by 20 points??

THIRDLY, Ron Paul has not "dropped" to 11% in South Carolina.. He's UP to 11% from 5% in Rasmussen's last poll from November...

[Hospitaller]

I want doug wead to be on Rands team in 2016 after a RP or BO term

[Matt Collins]

Link added to the OP

[ZanZibar]

Ron has been slowly rising in South Carolina. He was in low to mid single digits as recently as a month or two ago.Yep the voters have to go somewhere after they bail on Frothy and Grinch and they don't like Romney.

[RonRules]

Doug is doing such a better job than I could. He's smiles, he's nice, he explains, all while he's getting arrows shot at him.

[nbruno322]

Doug Wead kicks ass....get him on tv more often!
