Breaking News: A Ron Paul surge in Nevada
« on: January 20, 2008, 05:08:13 AM »
Boy, oh, boy! Hidden behind all the hoopla, headlines and the Nevada caucus victories of Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton is one little-noticed but stunning political development and number:

Ron Paul, the one-time Libertarian candidate and 10-term Republican congressman from Texas, was in second place. That's right, Second Place. The 72-year-old ob-gyn who's always on the end of the line at GOP debates or barred altogether, was running ahead of John McCain, Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, in fact, ahead of....

all other Republicans except Romney, who easily captured his second state in a week after Michigan.

That's a good accomplishment for him, although "Romney and Paul were basically the only Republicans who actively campaigned and advertised in the desert state."

On the same day, he finished fifth in the South Carolina primary.  Apparently, South Carolina's primary has picked the eventual Republican nominee in every election since 1980.

..and not even a peep from any major news network. What a bunch of bullshit. I don't care if anyone supports Ron or not but ignoring the guy is absolute bullshit.
