The upward movement in the polls don't confirm what this guy is saying.

Ron needs to pick it up, but things are still going pretty well.

Mr. Jones:

Clearly, the process is broken. Dr. Paul's success in both the raising of funds, and the many straw polls where he has placed in the top 3 (In fact, he has placed 1st in over half of the 47 straw polls.) should be entitling him to far more coverage from the Mainstream Media.

The CNN/YouTube format, not to mention the horrible question selection, and the absence of questioner screening, served neither the candidate, nor the public. It is unfortunate that the American people, many of which are longing for real change and a return to America's founding principles, are being denied access to a candidate that is so in touch with the pulse of the nation.

70% of the American public wants an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Ron Paul is the only candidate, Republican or Democrat, that shares that sentiment. He's also the only candidate on either side that sees the connection between our disastrous, meddling foreign policy, and the ill-will harbored by the rest of the world against us, particularly amongst the jihadists.

It is also an injustice that his supporters have been marginalized as fringe elements, extremists, or flat out kooks. His support base is far more diverse, and representative of "normal" America than anyone dare dream. You need only look at the contributions pouring into the campaign... It's not corporate contributions. It's not a small number of supporters contributing $2300 per pop. It's thousands and thousands of small contributors averaging donations of about $100 a piece.

Dr. Paul has tapped into a current that transcends party affiliations, and ideology. His message, a return to Constitutional government, is being embraced by people all over the political map. Democrats are re-registering as Republicans so that they can participate in the primaries, and they say they'll be voting for Paul in the general elections that follow, should he get the nomination.

It would be great if the media could be relied upon to deliver the news, pure and unadulterated. This is the story of the 2008 election, and nobody is being told about it.

Regards.
