Far and balanced Faux News is run by a close associate of one R. Giuliani.
They have consistently excluded Ron Paul in their coverage, even to the point of leaving his name off of reports on polls where he outscored other candidates who were mentioned. Their online polls attracted so many Ron Paul votes that they discontinued them.
The Republican machine will not allow Ron Paul to be nominated. Chances are his followers will try to launch a third party campaign, but
AFAIK, no libertarian has ever gotten more than 150K votes, nationally.
It's frustrating to RP followers, who point out that he is more closely aligned with Americans' opinions on key topics than any other candidate of either party.
