Within striking distance of O'Reilly? If she keeps up interviews like this we can move her right on up... to the top.
Oh, come one Aqua...you know you'd hit it if you had the chance.

Striking distance? She would have to more than triple her audience, I doubt that could happen. Though I do think the campaign sees her as a useful idiot to get the delegate story out there.

The freedom movement has the power to promote. Ben Swann is a perfect example. If we keep promoting people who want the spotlight, and they stay true to the truth of the message, then they will work their way to the top. I don't know if Rachel Maddow can do it but someone will. People don't like to be fooled or cheated. Freedom is popular. Liberty, Peace, and Prosperity is good.

Only 3 million people watch a show at one time? Alot less people watch the news than I thought.

Maddow is about as left wing as they come. I highly doubt that you can get libertarian conservatives to push her show to number one just because she happens to be nice to Doug Wead. As I said, I believe she is a useful idiot for the campaign's strategy at this time.
I think Wead is strategically lying, hoping that one of the other campaigns calls him out on it, and thus, the story grows.
I just hope Doug Wead is aware that Maddow practices the tactic of "sugar...sugar... POISON"
She's happy to be fair to Ron Paul as long as it makes other republicans look bad. But at those times when it becomes too obvious that Paul's positions make democrats look like hypocrites, she will contrive some suprise smear attack.

That's the most likely explanation I've heard so far. If Romney's campaign calls him out on it, he would be implicitly agreeing with the decision to ignore that county. Actually, any public aknowledgement of the voting irregularities in Maine risks Mitt losing momentum before Super Tuesday. I bet he's just hoping to push the issue off a few weeks until he can win another state.

Maddow just wants to expose what she sees as Paul's delegate strategy making a travesty of the popular vote and she seeks to ridicule the whole Republican electoral process as pathetic.
Doug Wead is fully aware of it and has no downside: almost 1 million Americans have heard that Paul has won Maine where it matters.

I don't know if you realize how prescient your statement is Travlr. People don't like to be fooled or lied to and the more we expose what's going on the better this country will be. We may not win it for Ron Paul this time around or we may. It doesn't matter though so long as we fight, and continue to expose the fraud, the lies, and the corruption that is constantly promoting war/debt/freedom robbing candidates. It''s us and our children who pay for the debt. It's us and our children who suffer a loss of freedom from the emergance of an autoritarian police state and it's us and our children, not the children of the crooked, lying politicians who fight and die in these unnecessary-undeclared wars. When people begin to realize that they might die for lies maybe then they will wake up.
I saw a transition in my own family when I was a boy during the Vietnam war. At first, all of them were pro war our country can do no wrong. Then I started to hear the heated arguments when one of my family members would ask, why should one of our kids get their legs blown off in somebody else's civil war? Then after a while all of them were against the war and my father put aside $10,000 (in 1972 dollars) for my brother to go to Canada if his draft number came up. This after my cousin got shot numerous times and came back with horror stories about what was going on over there. JUst on a side note in case anyone tries to call my father something for his stance on Vietnam. My father was special forces in Korea and served this country bravely but was later used as a guinea pig for secret experiments that caused him (and our entire family) agony the rest of his life

I heard the only reason Doug supports Ron is because he supports Wead.

Yeah, RP keeps saying this too... I'm very confused....
I'm pretty sure they are meaning to say Aroostook county, which Ron Paul did win in 08. And it also was not counted according to things I have found.
