What polling percentage must he attain to get equal status to people not even currently running for president?
Ron Paul supporters:
1. You must convince you friends, relatives, co-workers to research him! And promote him when they make the logical choice of supporting him.
2. You must contact the Major Media outlets and let them know that you don't like them intentionally excluding him.
Ron Paul is well on his way to owning the Internet side of the campaign. It is time to take it to the streets. Let your voices be heard.- nokla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Ron has been featured on CSPAN, FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, and HBO (although sometimes with a mocking tone as in the FOX News and HBO cases). So far the most major media channel to prominently feature Ron Paul has been YouTube where subscribers to the official Ron Paul campaign channel outnumber those for any other Republican. I guess you're talking about broadcast networks. The bread and butter for broadcasters is campaign advertising so they'll probably follow the money on that one. This is why they've given so much air-time to the big names in the past few days - they're buttering up the campaigns for advertising kickbacks down the road. It certainly isn't about providing an insightful indicator as to who will win. Gore led in campaign fund-raising when he ran. Last I checked, he wasn't president.

Please do not use "Sanjaya" as a verb.
