Ron Paul Comes Out Strong In Iowa Poll

August 12th, 2007 Posted in Politics, USA

Mitt Romney might have won Iowa’s Republican straw poll (as was expected) but Ron Paul’s performance was credible too. He came in fifth with 9.1% of votes. Meanwhile, the mainstream media continues to ignore him. The write-up at Washington Post covering this news doesn’t even mention his name. Why?

    I have been noticing this a lot more lately. Either I am becoming more attuned to noticing these media “oversights” or it’s happening on a more regular basis.

    I watched a CNN segment today sometime prior to the Straw Poll Tally. Bill Schneider, the “Senior Political ANALyst” did a nice little roundup of the candidates and didn’t mention Ron Paul’s name at all.

    The funny thing was, standing a little ways behind Schneider as he talked on camera was a Ron Paul supporter with an American flag. At the end of the segment they went to a wide shot and there were a bunch of other Ron Paul supporters.
