More bias towards RP

Clarence Page: Why Don’t the Media Notice Ron Paul?

Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page writes that Rep. Ron Paul may be getting only 2 percent in nationwide polls, but if the election were held online, Paul would probably win "hands down."

"So why, I am often asked, doesn't Paul get more coverage?" Page writes. He says it’s a catch-22: The mainstream media don’t think he has a chance to win, so they don’t cover him, and the less coverage you get, the less of a chance you have to win.

According to Page, Paul’s supporters flooded ABC News’ online polls after last week’s debate, yet he all but vanished in the post-debate coverage.
Page marvels, "You might think the mainstream media would pay more respect to a guy who ended up the recent fundraising quarter with more cash on hand than Sen. John McCain."

Andrew Kohut, president of the non-partisan Pew Research Center told Page that Paul’s message on getting out of Iraq is what’s resonating. "There's a defensiveness about Iraq among Republicans," he said. "Many [Republicans] say they want a different approach. I think that under the surface there is a market for someone who will say something different from what Bush is saying."

 

And this from the Sat. edition of the Des Moines Register.

Traffic was rolling smoothly at 8:45 a.m. on the roads in to Ames and Hilton Coliseum. There were no traffic jams.

At 9 a.m., the candidate with the loudest presence was Ron Paul, a U.S. representative from Texas.

Supporters stood on street corners, enthusiastically waving and holding up signs. At least 10 cars in the parking lot were decorated with giant "Ron Paul" signs. A guy in a minivan broadcasting Paul’s name drove around the Hilton lots honking his horn.

Yard signs, mostly for Paul, lined the highway interchange on Interstate Highway 35 at Ames, but a law enforcement officer in a squad car was yanking out the signs just before 9 a.m.
