The establishment is trying to bully Paul people into compliance, but are increasingly realizing they have no cover leverage to do so, since the race is not yet decided delegate wise, and more importantly, Paul stands to pick up HUNDREDS of hard delegates in the next few months. As they stack up, and it becomes evident that Paul had widespread support in the party nomination battle all along, it will be a humiliating blow to the establishment, who had portrayed him as marginal candidate with lagging delegate numbers. It will show the media had no clue what the real delegate count was, that they refused to cover a candidate whose movement was and is taking a dominant position in the GOP, and that Romney (if the winner) may have no choice but to at least offer Ron or Rand a VP spot, in order to have a disruption-free convention.

I also agree with the commenter to the article, that the Young Turks show has lately turned into a partisan hack, two-party paradigm pushing vehicle for the Gore channel, after months of trying to be an honest voice for independent progressives. Bash all Republicans, whoop up the women's vote (with the 'GOP war on women' talk) and whoop up the black vote (with the Trayvon slaying over-coverage) to energize the Democratic base voters at election time. Cenk has become a disappointment.

If the video is so terrible why isn't it in Media Spin?
