"Romney finishes behind Paul in California GOP straw poll"

THAT is the lead story on Google news.
NOT Paul wins.
Romney finishes second.
I'm surprised they even mentioned Ron Paul in the title of the article.

"Mitt Romney continued his recent dominance of the straw poll No. 2 spot this weekend in California."

I've never seen anyone described as dominating a contest when they consistently get 2nd. Whatever happened to “No one remembers who came in second.”

Yeah...totally blows my mind

"Mr. Paul has said he will enter the 2012 Republican presidential campaign only if he thinks he can win."

Excuse me?

When did he say that? This is the worst thing you could say to an ignorant voting populous that is already brainwashed to believe that he "can't win."

You know what to do, fellow Paulites.

I've seen just about all of his recent interviews. What he has said, in his own humble way, is that he would run if he felt he was needed--in light of deteriorating economic conditions.

In other words, if enough people wake up and understand what's really going on and desire to change it, he will step up and lead. This is more about saving the country than winning an election.

Look at the psychology. If I already think he's unelectable and then see a false statement that he will only run if he thinks he can win, what are the chances I'd look any further?

Our adversaries are very good at hiding their agenda in plain sight. You see the positive side because you are a supporter. Others are predisposed to see the negative.

Most excellent...
