So like 20 people voted for him, I'm sure he'll win now

It's gonna be awesome when Bloomberg runs independent and makes Paul the VP candidate.

wtf, these two people have absolutely nothing in common.

Bloomberg would likely run on Unity 08 and pick a conservative Democrat like Gov. Boren from OK.

Here's one of the graphics I saw today. Just amazing that they can't even post the real results and completely leave out Paul and Tancredo.

The storm is expected to pass, as long as we ignore him.

Just tuned into Fox News At 4:30 MST, and they are still excluding Tancredo and Ron Paul. Amazing. We Report, You Decide. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
What a disgrace Fox News is.

Ridiculous. No one can possibly say the media isn't being unfair to Dr Paul now.

And given the amount of money spent, the media coverage he get's, and that these so called respectable polls have him at 1-2%, this is a big win for him.

That graphic is not a sign of any conspiracy. There was very simple logic behind it: they revealed the top three finishers and the remainder was made up of the major candidates. Nothing sinister here.

You are probably correct, but it is interesting that they showed Tommy Thompson at 7% and didn't show McCain at all.

Well, The graphic I saw at ~4:30 PM MST showed the photos of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th place finishers. This was followed by the bottom 4 (7th, 8th, 9th and 10th place) finishers. They excluded 11th place finisher Cox. Now how much trouble would it have been to include Tancredo in the first graphic and Paul in the second graphic?? I mean, why not show ALL the results??
Tancredo and Paul received ~22% of the total vote.

Yeah, I'm back in the "something stinks" camp. For some reason, I mentally replaced Tommy Thompson with McCain. Of course being a liberal I am very familiar with the whole Fox News != journalism thing.

Fox's reason to show T. Thompson's results might be this.
