Ron Paul not being covered by media?

I went to a ron paul ralley and over 15000 people attended and to my knowledge every other ralley he has, has thousands in attendence. And hes also won a lot of states. More so than the front runner. Iv seen the numbers and i know a girl on his campaign staff. So why does the media refuse to cover him. But yet they cover criminals like obama and moon colony newt gingfat. Then yet they want ROMNEY to be president HAHA. So he can start a un constitutional war?

    Other comments would be correct in stating that he won no states in the primary cycle. He has however won some in the caucus cycle (you know, the one that actually matters). Check out the link below to see how he will be winning the nomination and the White House.

    Facts of Life - the media covers the leading candidates and not the others.

    Ron Paul is not considered to be viable candidate to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. He is way back in the delegate count with NO way of catching the leaders.

    Newspapers, TV Stations, and News Services only cover the candidates with a realistic change of winning. It costs them money to send a reporter to cover someone, and with no change of winning why waste the money. By the way he was an also ran in most of the contested races.

    From: http://2012.presidential-election.info/

    Delegate Count Total

    Mitt Romney - 646

    Rick Santorum - 221

    Newt Gingrich - 124

    Ron Paul - 64

    Rick Perry - 3

    Jon Huntsman - 2

    um, perhaps he is not covered because he is a tiny bit INSANE? did you and the other ppl at the "ralley" know that Paul is opposed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964? I'm gonna take a wild guess that you don't know what that is. but until not so long ago there were separate sections for white ppl and black ppl in buses, restaurants, movie theaters. this sort of discrimination was ended by the Civil Rights Act but Ron Paul doesn't think we need a Civil Rights Act.

    Shh! The more the media talks about Romney being the nominee the less Romney supporters will show up to fill the delegate positions. This is their Achilles heel, and these spots will be filled with Paul supporters. This strategy has already worked in Alaska, Iowa,Louisiana, Missouri, Minnesota, and Massachusetts... be prepared for fireworks come the convention in Tampa, Paul has already secured his name on the ballot down there.

    He couldn't have won more states then Romney. He has been in last place for a very long time. I'm surprised he hasn't dropped out by now. They must be giving you false information. Besides that he's too old to be president. He's 76, and he's just as liberal as Romney if not worse.

    Ron Paul hasn't won any state primaries in this election season. Might want to check your facts on that.
