1. I think Ron Paul has gotten his fair share of coverage in all of the news I've seen/heard. Face it, the guy's on the fringe, and the reason he's not coming close to winning is because people, in the end, don't agree with him. It's not from some incredible bias in the news.
2. Ron Paul's supporters were quite irritating during CNN's coverage of the New Hampshire election when they stood around Anderson Cooper and actually tried to chant--very loudly--while he was trying to deliver the newscast. I don't know if Cooper was annoyed, but I was.
Look, I know Ron Paul's running. In fact, I agree with him on some things, esp. the war in Iraq, but you won't have chance in h*** of persuading people to your side when you act like a bunch of children. (Yes, I realize other candidates's supporters have their faults, but Ron Paul's crowd really needs to settle down.)

Did anyone get the number to call to register as a republican or a democrat?
Thanks!

Major discrepancies between the Diebold count and hand count:
http://presscue.com/node/38034
By Percentage
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Diebold Machines 53.23% 46.77% Hand Count 47.47% 52.53%
By Votes
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Diebold Machines 82860 72807 Hand Count 18898 20912
By Number of Municipalities Won
Method Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Diebold Machines 54 33 Hand Count 43 77
About 81% of the votes will be "counted" by the Diebold machines.

Romney left MI 40 years ago...the fact that dem. primary is irrelevant helps Mcain as now many dems. and independents will vote for him instead of edwards, obama etc.
it was Ronna Romney who ran for office is MI about 10/12 years ago. she is related only by marriage....I predict a big Mccain win and the end of the Romney campaign. having lived there for many years (though not now), I don't think anyone cares that Romney happens to be from bloomfield hills.

Why does anyone give Buchanan a spot? I'm not old enough to remember his presidential race well, but from what I've heard of his strategies and analyses, he's not all that with it.

NEW OBAMA
You're likable enough, Barack,
Although there's been a change:
You're now ungracious and you're strident--
Broadening your range?
Re: Ron Paul
If I could say two things about Ron Paul:
1. I think Ron Paul has gotten his fair share of coverage in all of the news I've seen/heard. Face it, the guy's on the fringe, and the reason he's not coming close to winning is because people, in the end, don't agree with him. It's not from some incredible bias in the news.
2. Ron Paul's supporters were quite irritating during CNN's coverage of the New Hampshire election when they stood around Anderson Cooper and actually tried to chant--very loudly--while he was trying to deliver the newscast. I don't know if Cooper was annoyed, but I was.
