The media have so much power, I just hope Paul can get his message out. Have you seem much of him on the news to say hes been ahead of Guliani in every single state?

Agree with you 100% on the media. They try as hard as they can to influence the outcome of elections. Our job is to thwart them at every turn. There is far too much polling going on. I'd like to see what would happen if there wasn't any. Ron Paul has certainly been given the short end of the media stick.....however, I have heard him frequently on radio talk shows so he is getting his message out as best he can. But many of his supporters are really rabid and just a little nuts. They behave badly - using profanity and harrassing people who disagree with their point of view. This does not help their candidate in the long run. They also go into overdrive on text message polling - which makes it appear that Dr. Paul is much higher in the ratings than he actually is.
Florida will be the first closed primary. No crossover voting. So, it should be interesting.
