Analysis- Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul was asked after the Orlando Fox News debate on Hannity and Colmes about being booed when promoting his non interventionist foreign policy.
Ron Paul politely responded that he didn’t get a thousand tickets to give to his people and that he could have filled the audience with a couple thousand of his supporters.
Paul wasn’t boasting either. He regularly gets 1 or 2 thousand people at his rallies across the country.
After the debate 34% of Fox News viewers said that Ron Paul won the debate with 27% saying that Mike Huckabee won the debate. That was in stark contrast to the Fox News focus group who when asked if Ron Paul won nobody raised their hands.
The Free Market News Network website offered an opinion piece posing the question of whether Fox News stacked the audience.
There is no way of knowing whether Fox News did actually stack the audience but there was a disconnect with the Florida audience that booed Ron Paul’s anti war rhetoric and the Michigan audience in the recent CNBC debate that cheered it.
The different response in the audience during each debate may be attributed to regional differences as many southern states do have a military culture that is not as much in the forefront in northern states. Or it may just have been an anomaly in the Orlando audience that was not the result of foul play.
There was a however a disconnect between Sean Hannity and the Fox News viewing audience, Hannity claimed foul when he saw the results but the pundit may just be out of touch with the GOP base and Fox News viewers.
Ron Paul’s non interventionism is only part of his appeal. His tireless support of the U.S. Constitution and defense of the Bill of Rights draws in Republican activists and independents as supporters. Paul’s opposition to the Federal Reserve and income taxes also energizes Republican voters. His promise to protect U.S. borders is also credible to activists.
There is no way to tell who is going to win the Republican nomination but Ron Paul has tremendous support which is evidenced every time there is a vote which he wins after each debate.
Ron Paul’s fund raising and grass roots support is making him a force in this primary. Pundits and reporters should just do the right thing and cover the story otherwise they will be denying the results of the New Hampshire primary too. (Discuss the election on www.usadaily.net)
