OK... What's with the Pre-Caucus MSM Lovefest???

I'm sure the pressure we have been putting on Fox and their sponsors with the emails, faxes, phone calls, and stock are having an impact. The media has figured out that we are here in mass to ensure the Doctor gets a fair shake.
 
I wonder what their attitude is going to be if we take first or second place?

Will they pretend to be nice or will they go into ultra attack mode?

They went into ultra attack mode with Howard Dean, remember?

Winning in Iowa was the beginning of the end for him.

So, let's be prepared.
 
When you've been abused for so long a little less abusive treatment seems like a "lovefest". They are setting us up to be happy with second best. For a long time it was "Ron Paul won't win. He has no chance". Now it will switch to "Ron Paul may be a contender in this race. He still won't win, but he could definitely upset the balance of power". This new "positive" bent is designed to disarm Ron Paul supporters who should be pushing for one singular goal in this election: Victory! Not "spreading the message" or "opening people's eyes". That is the failed tactic the Libertarian party has taken for decades. We must win! 2nd place is the first loser and will be forgotten before the new president has time to finish his inauguration speech. Just look at Ross Perot who got 19 million votes in his first run. When he ran the second time around he was dead in the water. Howard Dean, for all his fundraising and energetic campaigning, was all but forgotten the minute he lost the nomination to Kerry. Al Gore knew better than to run a second time, even though he arguably won the first. America doesn't like losers, and we have a very short memory.

Amen

the goal is the whitehouse
 
"we're the mainstream media and we predicted a strong finish for ron paul, we're so good at predicting stuff."
 
Okay, the conspiracy nut in me says that they would be nice to him if they figured he was going to flame out in order to take the wind out of our sails, because we wouldn't then be able to push back against the bad press.

There is no circumstance in which a President Paul is good for the current media.

I thought Howard Dean lost Iowa ???

Regardless, the media is the media's friend (they aren't Paul's friend, and they aren't any candidates friend unless they think the candidate is going to help their bottom line.)

Paul is in this to win, and I am behind him to win. Ideally every state, but I agree that is not likely. But the more states we win, the more chance of securing the GOP nomination. It ain't over until after the GOP convention next summer.
 
Strictly CYA, admitting reluctantly the inevitable, so they'll have some remnant of credibility remaining amongst the sheeple when they next go promptly to work minimizing and marginalizing Ron Paul's surprisingly good finish tonight.
