CNN's own Scorecard shows mainstream media out of touch with reality:

0 votes

Take a look at this screenshot of the CNN debate scorecard:

The snapshot was taken right after I submitted my votes on the debate, at 2:45 PM on June 6th. At the time, the total vote count was slightly under 20,000 votes cast...

As you can see, all my votes matched up with the majority of CNN voters. (With the one exception, and I did have a hard time choosing between Romney and Giuliani on the "Most Disappointing" category.) But nearly all the mainstream media choices are way off, as usual.

CNN isn't exactly highlighting this poll, which is no big surprise, since their self-anointed ones aren't winning. But you can find it (and as of this writing, you can still cast your vote) here:

Don't be fooled by "the professional distractors" - Ron Paul IS the best candidate, and IS enjoying much more widespread support than the media will admit. Once people learn about him, the overwhelming majority become big Ron Paul supporters!
