Tea Party Press - Washington Times
Posted December 17th, 2007 by Jane Aitken
Press reports are starting to roll in. This article in the Washington Times had the Tea Party success story mixed in with news about Mitt Romney's day with Tim Russert. Not a single negative about Paul, the article ended on a sour note for Romney:
"...Mr. Romney had to explain his flip-flops on four issues dear to conservatives, including immigration and abortion."
And here is a report from Texas where Paul himself stopped by to toss the 'tea' into the water:

Washington Post - Uninformed again!
That would be Dr. Paul.. who you calling Mr.?
I didn't go to medical school for 8 years to be called Mr. Evil!

Media Style Guides
Typically the style guide for major newspaper outlets is to refer to candidates as Mr./Mrs. rather than Dr, as being a Dr, is not very relevant to politics. They did the same thing with Howard Dean in the last election, so in this case they are being fair and consistent, not disrespectful.
Hmmm.... what about Represenative Paul? Or maybe Captain.?
It bothers me too when they call this man, who has served this country in so many ways "Mr."
I don't know what rank he achieved so I just guessed captain.
