Re: FOX Decides to Report on Ron Paul (They must really be nervous)

Like most conservatives,  I think it's great what the Paul campaign is doing!  I want to see a strong influence by Paul in the Republican Platform, and even in some aspects of foreign policy.   Having said that,  what exactly are you missing?   Cameron is correct.

FOX Decides to Report on Ron Paul (They must really be nervous)

J.M. emails:
I just watched Shepard Smith and Carl Cameron discussing Ron Paul's latest delegate victories in Maine and Nevada. Shepard sarcastically mocked Ron Paul's supporters who claim he still has a chance, and Cameron sneered at the camera and stated that it is "mathematically impossible" for Ron Paul to win. They briefly discussed his victories in Maine and Nevada, but claimed that there is still no chance Ron Paul will be anything other than a speaker at Romney's convention. Carl Cameron also claimed that those delegates in Nevada that are Paul supporters would not vote for Paul on a second ballot if somehow Romney did not win a majority on the first ballot!


Also, the topic of a floor nomination from winning five state delegate pluralities was brought up, but Cameron dismissed this as not being very likely since he expressed doubt Paul would even win five states because many of these Paul victories are in places where delegates are bound to vote for Romney. The interesting thing about that is Carl Cameron admitted Paul would have five states as victories the other day on Foxnews:

I guess much like Paul Krugman and the other members of the DC establishment, it is hard to keep their stories straight when they are busy deceiving the American public.

What is interesting is how in the past Foxnews has done its best to ignore covering Paul -- or even intentionally show the reaction to the previous year's CPAC straw poll vote since it was far more negative -- yet now they are giving him coverage? It is clear that they are very concerned at exactly what is taking place with Paul's efforts in the GOP race, not to mention basically ignoring how the Paul supporters are taking over the state parties. Why else would they be bringing back the talking points that Paul can't win and none of this matters? If what Paul is doing now does not matter, why were they covering it?
