    That leftist Murdoch owns the WSJ now.
    Whats in your survival cache?

    And insist you leave Ron Paul out of your graphic, when he's polling at 11% in Iowa??

    Ridiculous. Will never pick up your rag again.

    Please cancel my account to the online journal. I've already canceled my
    offline account. Your affiliation with News Corp and Rupert Murdoch is
    clearly distorting your view in the 08 political race.

    Thank you.

    we should be declaring war on the media. the current establishment needs to be destroyed, and we're already using the tool that can be employed to do it.

    What endorsements does Ron Paul have which meet their criteria? This is a comparative bar graph of endorsements by elected officials from states holding primaries between now and super Tuesday.

    I cancelled my WSJ account the day the deal of the News Corp acquisition was sealed. They were a complete pain in the ass, I swear it was worse than AOL trying to cancel my account with them. I called up, gave them my information, but they said they needed my "secret answer" that I put when I signed up for the online WSJ a year ago. I had completely forgotten what I put. They told me well they could not cancel my account without that secret answer because they needed to verify it was me. I said well I can give you my credit card number, name, address, date of birth, social security number, e-mail address..etc, would help? NO, they could NOT cancel my account until I told them my answer to the question "What was your first pet's name?" (I put some gibberish answer, why give someone a clue to your password?) I could not believe how ridiculous they were being about it, I flipped out. I called several times hoping to get a nicer rep, even spoke to the manager - same response. I ended e-mailing someone there and they finally canceled it for me.

    The WSJ graphic is misleading in another way, too.

    Why should anyone care how many elected representatives endorse a particular candidate? Or is it even a good thing if a candidate is endorsed by a lot of them? They may as well list how many Fortune 2000 CEOs endorse particular candidates. It's a sheeple graphic: "just vote for the one with the longest bar..." If anything, I would be inclined to do the reverse (based on that chart alone).

    don't know about the endorsement aspect....it is actually 2 seperate graphs however (one for endorsement, one for "polling" numbers).

    I guess presently it is not viewed as a "plus" to endorse Ron if you're in Congress which is NOT really that suprising because how many other Constitutionalists are there anyhow??? Now you know why.

    In that specific poll, RP was at 9%. See http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=72422

    Edit: It looks like the BBC has done exactly the same thing! http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=72429

    3.3%, so yes, statistically tied for third.
