They have been talking about NH and IA all morning and haven't mentioned RP one single time. The only time his name even came up was when he won (Yes! Won!) the coffee bean poll for the R's. The anchor looked physically pained when the guy told him that, then proceeded to completely ignore that fact and talk about the democrats.

Use this as fuel for the fire! Canvas, attend your meetup events, wear your pin everywhere, put your yard sign in the windshield at work/the store/ whatever!

go!

yeah i seen that this morning also. He asked who won the R's side and the guy said Ron Paul. Then the guy went straight to talking about the Dems again. Not once after that did he say anything about the R's or at the end of the story say anything about Ron Paul winning. But he did mention the D's winners at every sentence.

Coffee bean poll? :)

The residents of the area put a coffee bean in jars marked for candidates, the guy doing the interview started out making it sound like it's 100% predictor or something, but then conveniently moved on to how politically charged the students in IA were and how the democratic candidates are so good at getting student help, even so far as to have a 'Christmas Vacation in IA' event. How groundbreaking!

That reminds me, shouldn't he have asked who won before he started the segment?

Maybe he did I suppose, it was the rest. owner who mentioned RP....

how can they all report from Iowa and ignore Ron Paul is a factor? it's ridiculous, i hope this just makes our caucus goers more determined to turn out, as I understand it the people in Iowa and NH dont really care what national media says anyway which is to our advantage

I hope the local media isnt ignoring him though!

I just saw that and it made me laugh out loud.

I also had to scream into a throw pillow when they played huckster's 'Obviously the war on terror works! We haven't been attacked since 9/11'

This pisses me off so much... the last 'terrorist' attack on the US before 9/11 was the WTC bombings in '93. That's an 8 year window... by their own measure, Bill Clinton has proved himself 'tougher on terror' than GWB. If anything, their logic says that BC protected us from terror while in office, and GWB dropped the ball.... I absolutely /hate/ this line, with a passion.

If Ron takes third in Iowa I predict I'll be afflicted with a day-long rongasm.

If Paul does better than third, I'm climbing on the roof and firing off a bunch of ammo like it was a festival day in Kabul.
