The winner of tonight’s South Carolina Republican Debate was Ron Paul, despite what Fox News and pundit Sean Hannity says to the contrary. Ron Paul finally got a chance to show the country, at least those that tuned in, he belongs in this race and his voice needs to be heard. Sportsbook.com has Ron Paul at 30 to 1 odds to become the 2008 President of the United States (http://affiliates.commissionaccount.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_4572b_115).

Fox News created a so called independent "focus" group during the South Carolina Republican Debate. The “focus” group at the Citadel voted that Fred Thompson won the debate but said they would not necessarily vote for him. The same group of Republicans in the “focus” group claimed to want a true conservative yet said the clear loser of the debate was Ron Paul (http://www.ronpaul2008.com/). Where did they get these people from and which debate were they watching? I would not put it past Fox to screened the so called "focus" group to weed out Ron Paul supporters.

After the debate, Fox’s coverage was clearly slanted against Paul as the only negative reaction the hand picked “focus” group apparently had was towards one of Ron Paul’s responses to the out of control foreign policy spending which received a tremendous applause from the audience in attendance. People that do not like Ron Paul’s message are in complete denial of the state of our Republic. The Texas Congressman is telling it like it is and attacking the political establishment, which angers their supporters and puppets. Puppets such as Sean Hannity.

Hannity actually said every one of the candidates except Ron Paul could become the nominee. How did Ron Paul raise $20 million in last three months of 2007 then Sean? It is pretty obvious to me that Hannity could not tell the difference between a conservative and a baloney sandwich. The so called “conservative” pundit clearly needs to go back and checkout the definition of “conservative” as Ron Paul is clearly the most conservative Republican Presidential Candidate in 2008.

During the post debate analysis show, Fox ran a national text message poll designed to get the opinions of viewers that actually paid attention during the South Carolina Debate. Guess who won? Yup, Ron Paul won the text message poll with 32% of the votes and that clearly irked Hannity. The text message poll shows that the broader television audience clearly believe that Ron Paul was the winner of the South Carolina Republican Debate and Sean Hannity’s view is in the minority.

Not a single Republican Presidential Nominee has won the White House without winning South Carolina. It’s important for the Republican base to elect a conservative that will rally the base. I cannot understand why the so call conservatives are moving away from the fiscally conservative Ron Paul. He is clearly the most conservative Republican Presidential Candidate and the only true “change” agent the Republican Party has that can compete with Barack Obama.

These are really bad odds on Paul if anyone is looking to bet on him. Hell, you can get 40-1 on him winning the Republican nomination.
