Shh! Ron Paul Places 2nd in Nevada Tommy Christopher Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul bested most of the Republican field in yesterday's Nevada Republican Caucus, finishing 2nd to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in what Romney might describe as a "Silver Medal in the Silver State." As Ron Paul supporters have observed, you wouldn't know it to scan this morning's headlines. Like him or not, Ron Paul is newsworthy, and the drumbeat of "unfair treatment" from his supporters is justified. Mitt Romney has received similar treatment from the press, so the one-two punch here is instructive. Over at Politico, Romney at least rates the 6th headline, but with no blurb. Zip for Ron Paul. Isn't Ron Paul a politician? As usual, Ron Paul owned Rudy Giuliani, nearly quadrupling the former national frontrunner's vote total. How is that not a huge story? Giuliani's campaign tries to marginalize his defeats by saying they didn't campaign there, but Nevadans know who Rudy is.
I think this clip about sums it up. Update after the jump.
While researching "Videos of the Week", I came across the following clip from a local Fox affiliate. I post it not as a defense of Fox, but because it is significant to me that it is the #6 clip on Youtube today. The clip is called "What is the Ron Paul Revolution?" Could this mean that people are trying to find out more about Ron Paul on their own? I'm going to keep an eye on this clip's stats. Update#2: Some of you expressed a wish to email Fox News. Here's the address: yourcomments@foxnews.com Update#3: First, I now have proof that "Wish Belkin" is a real person! And you're welcome. Second, a couple of commentators feel that I am unfairly singling out Fox News. Read the piece, it isn't that long. I gave the Fox clip as an example, but I clearly said it was pervasive. Not only that, I balanced it with a pro-Paul clip from a Fox affiliate. So, yeah, I stand by my fairness.
