Ron Paul in the Polls
Posted by Lew Rockwell at 02:02 PM

With virtually only internet attention, Ron is already at 2% in the latest CNN presidential poll, tied with Hagel, Gilmore, and Brownback, and ahead of Huckabee, Tancredo, and Thompson. My prediction: a steady increase in his poll standing. (Thanks to Johnny Kramer.)

Shame on Hardball for ignoring Ron Paul
Posted by James Ostrowski at 07:08 PM

I'm a big fan of Hardball on MSNBC but they dropped the ball by ignoring Ron Paul's announcement today. It was all about Hagel, who's having a Hamlet problem in deciding whether to run. Sorry Chuck, indecisive leadership is an oxymoron.

But as I said before, when Paul emerges as a major candidate, it will show that the mainstream media monopoly is over and that the internet is where the action is. Even the host this morning on C-SPAN noted that Ron was all over the web.
