Re: Forget Sarah Palin: Rand's Moment/Ron's Opportunity?
I didn't read the article but I'd like to speculate as to the answer to this:
Why is it that major media are so unwilling to take a close and serious look at Ron Paul as a potential candidate for president, while they pant with excitement at every breath Palin takes?
1. boobs (funny, yet a little bit of fact?)
2. people are stupid (sadly a very large fact)
3. She's different. She's closer to the "everyday" American than most politicians (well she was when she started). Instead of being a cold, calculating politician who spends his free time perfecting his lies to sound like legitimate half-truths, Palin instead just said whatever idiotic thing came to her mind. It was refreshing in a "Oh god, where is America headed" kind of way.
4. Ron Paul is crazy old. John McCain is slightly less crazy old and he had Palin as his running mate and didn't win, so why pay attention to RP when we can just pay attention to Palin? (again, this is the media, not me. I'd rather they pay attention to the guy attempting to break the world record for sticking pens up his nose)
5. Did I mention he's crazy old? We're America. We like young, new, shiney things. We are like a 2 year old. We see something appealing, stick it in our mouth, chew for a while, swallow, then puke it up 5 minutes later and move on to something else to chew on.
[edit] 6. As proven by our current President, we prefer politicians who have absolutely no experience what so ever! First term Senator? NICE! First term Governor? NICE. By 2040 we'll be electing a President who's resume is topped off with "I once at 72 hot dogs in 12 minutes".

) therefore capable of talking about it without media input. In regards to the media tho, down the road I want to see where FOX decides to sit given the fact they're huge Palin backers as well as Tea Party backers. Palin's been positioned as the TP mouthpiece so we'll see if there's some jockeying for position. Neither Paul seems to have aligned themselves with Palin to any great degree either. One thing's for sure-Rand's landslide victory brings Ron furthur into the spotlight. 
Ron Paul's following consists of mostly young people so maybe we all lack a father image or something ( caveat-being the only girl in my family I did not and do not lack a father presence, which is not to say there were/are times I could've rolled with less of that
