Dr. Paul is being excluded (but not Tom Tancredo!) from the Des Moines Register political analysis summary. I sent the author this note and encourage you to do the same. Please be civil...
Dear Ms. Hunter,
I was deeply disappointed to see that you left Congressman Paul off your list of candidates. Dr. Paul is most certainly running a credible campaign and is currently leading all other Republicans in 4th quarter fundraising. He is also the only Republican who is against the war in Iraq, and has been since the beginning. That fact alone would provide some balance to the Republican side of your analysis. Also, unlike telephone polls, straw polls depend on people actually showing up to vote, much like a real election. Dr. Paul has won more straw polls than any other candidate (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/straw-po...). CNN is reporting that Dr. Paul is currently in 4th place for the Republican nomination (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/press-re...). I think that his exclusion is doing a great disservice to both your readers and to Dr. Paul. Please let me apologize in advance for the deluge of mail that you are about to get from the thousands of Ron Paul supporters.
