I wonder if they will discuss HR 347 and Ron being one of only three House members to vote against it...

Emphasized his authenticity and consistency. Not a hit peace but showed Ron's reluctance for power in contrast with others.

4-5 people (Alex Wagner, Willie Geist, Michael Steele, etc) all discussed him after watching a mixture of clips of Paul.

Showed very short clip of Ron asking Bernake if he shopped for his own groceries. Clip of him holding up a silver coin talking about putting it under your mattress (didn't show the gasoline comparison clip). Clip of Ron being asked if he dreams of being president. Clip of Ron being asked what'd he do if Castro called him up.

There was definitely some subtle spin in the clip collection. Discussion was pretty positive about Paul although you could detect more subtle spin but at least they were talking about him positively. Hopefully a tube shows up.

sounds like htey were spinning the gold thing as if he's a hermit/miser not as if he wants to preserve value. Wonkette does that all the time, talking about his secret hoard of gold as if he has Orcs guarding it or something....

Bummer, I wanted to hear some "Death Star" theatrics out of Michael Steele, like he spewed on Primary/Caucus Tues. night.

The clips they showed did make him look authentic however viewers with a skewed view towards Paul would also think he looked archaic and out of his league. Anyone pro Paul would never use those clip selections in that way because of that.

It's positive only because they think they safe assuming he's no threat to actually winning. They don't have to worry about discussing his issues.

It's like watching people in a train car drinking champagne just before the train goes off a cliff, laughing about the guy who's trying to get access to the brake lever.

It was spin against him, saying he is only in it for influence, pretending he is not interested in winning, portraying his suggested policy change WHICH BERNANKE AGREED TO DISCUSS FURTHER of letting people save in precious metals without capital gains tax when they spend it was some nutty miser hiding his gold peculiarity....

but it had Ron in it, so it wasn't all bad....
