This is an article talking about and I quote: "How the internet is changing the rules of American politics" and Ron Paul does not even get mentioned in the main article :confused:

He only gets mentioned in a sidebar with links to YouTube moments of the top ten presidential candidates: they pick an obscure interview of Ron Paul by the dorm-room guy and put the link right at the bottom of the list! Link (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,2120662,00.html) You would be forgiven for thinking this was all deliberately calculated :rolleyes:

Link to the full article online here (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections08/story/0,,2121188,00.html)

About the only good thing in the article (online version) is a link to techpresident.com (http://www.techpresident.com) which of course has Ron Paul at the top of every webstat, so a few might notice the disparity between the article and reality.

Also good to see is a picture of Rude Rudy in drag in the paper version :D You don't usually see this publicised in mainstream media. See pics here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/9829662@N07/?saved=1)

So, I think we need to do some re-educating here because there's a fairly sizeably American expatriate community in the UK that need to hear the freedom message -- it's an easy message to sell living in the world's most surveilled country that's for sure. The article's author is Gaby Wood and her email should be gaby.wood@observer.co.uk but i'm not sure. My emails seems to have gone through ok.
