I have read a number of posts implying that the media is actively not covering Paul because he challenges the status quo. I disagree.
The media would love Paul if he ever at this stage in the election cycle reaches over 20% in a scientifically conducted poll or comes in second place in a primary. It would be a great story for them. Except for Paul, all the Republicans running are boring and predictable. They pretty much sound like GWB phase II.
Paul is talking about major changes in the role of the FED government. ABC, NBC, CNN, et al are right now dreaming of an 2008 election with Paul running against a Democrat.
Paul is challenging the Republican status quo more than anybody in the last century, including Goldwater.
I can see the daily news reports and the Sunday news talk shows about Paul's election run:
1. Republicans scrambling.
2. An election that offers a choice between different philosophies about the proper role of the Federal government.
As someone who has been following US politics since I was 14, I look forward to Paul winning the Republican nomination and running for US president. I predict if he did well enough in this election cycle but was not nominated he would run again in 2012.
What do you think
