In the first 32 minutes of the debate, Ron Paul had 30 seconds of airtime with only one question asked of him. By this time, the big three had an average of 3 questions asked.

In the 2 hours after the debate aired on CNN, Ron Paul was not interviewed and his name was not mentioned once.

Is there a video of the debate up anywhere? I missed it last night and wanted to catch it.

Yet Paul is winning almost all categories in that poll Which shows you just how useful those types of polls are.

And it goes to show that people aren't really voting for his performance when he is at these debates...it's just a bunch of fanboys jumping on the bandwagon.

[DosEquis]

I voted:

1. Who won? Paul
2. Who knows most about issues? Paul
3. Best comeback? Tancredo
4. Dissappointed? I put Rudy, but the guy that said he'd nuke Iran is scary too
5. Most surprising? McCain only because i thought he sucked the last one. I expected Paul to do well so it wasn't the most surprising.
6. Biggest boost? I put McCain just because he did well and he is in the republican big 3.
7. Snappiest dresser? Who gives a shit.

How do you know that? When Paul does get to answer a question every 30 minutes at a debate, he does so intelligently and it's clear that he represents a different point of view than everyone else on the stage with him. It's also clear that he has widespread grass roots support and its growing.

I'm more concerned with why there is media blackout against Ron Paul. I was listening to Hannity interview some sort of polling expert who had a NH focus group give their opinion of the debates. The ONLY thing he mentioned about Paul was that the group HATED him. Not just 'they didn't like what he had to say' but rather, they HATED him. I had a really difficult time believing that comment especially considering the debate took place in NH - a state full of libertarians. Suprisingly, all of the neocons on stage (and I mean everyone else at the debate besides Paul) all received glowing comments.

I'm convinced the mainstream media is choosing not to give Paul any coverage and, what little coverage he does receive, he is smeared more often than not.

He has done nothing but talk about the Iraq War in his given time. While it was cool at first that him and I think alike...he needs to start talking about something else.

I actually really like Ron Paul as a republican candidate, but I think he did very poorly in the debate. Atleast as it appeals to people who want to hear about something other than just the war.

Do you think alike with him on these issues?

In winning the confidence of the American people, 70% of whom are against the war, isn't it smart politics to side with the People rather than the party like the other candidates?

He also answers all the "few" questions asked of him. How is it that the main three candidates always get center stage? How is that they get to answer more questions? Why is he positioned on the very outside?

Regarding the post on Hannity's smear of him, Hannity is a neo-con to the end except he says he's Catholic but supports a baby killer in Guiliani. His consistent attack on Paul, along with Medved, Malkin, Hewitt, Dick Morris, Gibson (anyone on Fox News) are all given the same script.

Paul was interviewed on Dennis Miller's show. Spoke on limited government, abortion, eminent domain and private property rights, the environment, Hillary Clinton and socialism and finally the war (which his views were not in alignment with Miller's). You can listen here:

Paul totally got screwed in that debate.

[RMNIXON]

I watched a film from a Focus Group on Fox. They could not stand McCain. They said he had lost his maverick touch, did not like his excuses about the Immigration Bill, and said he looked old. I think McCain is toast?
