Many of you have seen the coverage of the Ron Paul Rally from the Des Moines Register online:
http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070701/NEWS09/707010342/-1/caucus
I have the actual paper in my hand and the printed layout is definitely kind to Ron Paul.
The headline on the top of the Metro/Iowa section is "Romney's abortion view draws jabs". This story is about the ITR/ICA forum and continues on page 2. The Ron Paul story is on page 2. It is much shorter than the forum story but appears nicely in the middle of the page, saying "Paul, uninvited to GOP forum, attracts a loyal flock for rally". There is a great picture of Dr. Paul (same as the website) that is about 5.5 by 3.75 inches.
At the bottom of the page are excerpts of the speeches from the 6 candidates at the forum. There is a picture of each of them but they are only 1.5 by 1.75 inches and unflattering for every one.
At the very top of the page is Dave Yepsen's column where he says some good things about Dr. Paul:
