I heard there may be another debate in Houston, TX on May 24th. I think this would be a great idea to hear from the candidates again before the TX and CA primaries. Not sure who is hosting it, but I would think the news orgs would be crawling over one another for the opportunity to pick up some viewers to help their falling numbers.

actually this one is going to be one in which ron paul actually gets to speak, win over the nation (because his thought process is logical and non-bias), wins the nominee and eventually wins presidency by the support of the nation in one of the largest grass roots movements in recorded history. the occupy and tea party will both be behind him. they are already showing up at all his conventions and voicing there support for him in the streets.

“GETTING” RON PAUL

Most journalists simply don’t get Ron Paul. A big part of it is journalists not being able to understand anything other than what they’ve been taught to understand, which in politics amounts to little more than the horserace before them. Journalists understand how to cover a conventional campaign. They really don’t know what to do with a movement. Plus, they can be pretty lazy. Trust me.
In his review of Reason’s Brian Doherty’s book on Dr. Paul, James Antle makes some keen observations concerning Ron Paul and media coverage at Real Clear Books:
Brian Doherty aside, most reporters don’t know what to make of Ron Paul. This observation isn’t simply a clichéd swipe at the “drive-by media” or the dinosaurs of the dreaded “MSM.” To the working press, from the Red Bull-addled gumshoes at Internet start-ups to grizzled veterans of the campaign trail, Paul’s two Republican presidential bids simply do not compute.
This only partly due to liberal bias, the smothering conventional wisdom that sees no practical difference between restoring the Constitution and returning the powdered wig to its proper place in American fashion. Gold standard? Letters of marque and reprisal? Mainstream media eyes glaze over…
The biggest problem is that there is no easy media narrative for what Paul is doing. The success or failure of most presidential campaigns is determined by two simple metrics: winning the nomination and winning the White House. Whatever his principled disagreements with Mitt Romney, when Rick Santorum suspended his presidential campaign, that was all she wrote. There is no generation of Rick Santorum Republicans ready to run in his place. When John Kerry came up short in Ohio against George W. Bush in 2004, he became yesterday’s news…

(But Paul) is still attracting crowds that number in the thousands on the stump. His online money bombs raise millions of dollars even as this late stage of the campaign. Most importantly, his supporters are crowding Republican state conventions and district meetings. The result is that Paul is accumulating a surprising number of delegates…
The Ron Paul forces are still giving the Republican establishment fits months after their campaign was presumed dead. They took 16 out of 19 delegates allocated by congressional district caucuses in Romney’s home state of Massachusetts. Paulites even denied a delegate slot to Romney’s former lieutenant governor. Delegate-wise, Paul may turn out to be the winner in Iowa after all. The state GOP will be chaired by Paul supporters in both Iowa and Alaska.
Paul’s legacy includes dozens of Ron Paul Republicans, the most successful being his son Rand Paul, the junior senator from Kentucky, and the up-and-coming young Michigan Congressman Justin Amash. This is what makes Paul so hard for the media to cover: he is clearly having a bigger long-term impact than the 1972 John Ashbrook presidential campaign, but movement-building doesn’t fit neatly into the horserace mentality of most political journalism.
Doherty ends his book with an exchange between Paul and an ABC News reporter. What would Paul do to improve his poll numbers? “I don’t change my message,” Paul replied. He then followed up with what Doherty describes as “that slightly hesitant Ron Paul thoughtfulness”: “I change minds.”
Ron Paul is changing the Republican Party right before our very eyes.

Brenda, Ron Paul wins 11 states based on plurality of delegates selected to go to the RN convention. Not won, wins. Pretty soon you may hear about it on the MSM, who now tells you the won 0 states. Sit back and be impressed. Noticed they pulled my original off the comment roll. Oh, well, that's CNN for you

Fox is number 1. They don't just win, they destroy the competition. Kind of like the majority of viewers have a different opinion than you do. You're simply in a tiny minority, with a tiny mind, who can't debate the issues, or watch as the issues are debated. "Fair and Balanced", means you don't have to listen (be brain-washed) to ranting and raving about one side of an issue. "Fox Reports", and I decide. I have a brain to think with. I don't have a need to be told what my opinion should be, and therefore, I can watch both democrats and republicans debate the facts of an issue, and decide who I believe to be correct. I have learned that proven liars like Dan Rather, Ed or Rachel, or Andrea, are not reliable sources for news. People like-minded to these have a political agenda, that I may or may not agree with. I have debated the news issues before with people who seem to have a very high IQ, but they seem to lack the intelligence to discern fact from fiction. They are simply ideologues.

Maybe you need to pay closer attention.

This weekend - despite Romney's wonderful showing in the caucuses - at the Nevada state Convention - which ACTUALLY determines votes at the National convention, 23 out of 25 delegates are Ron Paul supporting.

In Maine, it was similar results.

Of course, CNN hasn't reported on this at all, preferring instead to paint this fictitious "everyone is falling into line" picture that doesn't actually exist.

Which forces the question: why is CNN actively engaging in disinformation?
