Tight second place and still the media continues to censor Ron Paul’s success.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney convincingly won the Maine Republican caucus tonight with about 52% of the vote.

The current GOP front-runner, Arizona Sen. John McCain, is running a distant second with 22% and Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-minded longshot, is in a very close third with 19% of the vote. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is trailing badly with only 5%.
…….
It was a disappointing night for Ron Paul. The campaign of the 72-year-old, 10-term congressman from Texas with the well-financed campaign had hoped to pull an upset in independent-minded Maine. And he did come close to embarrassing McCain for second place, which Paul also won in the Louisiana and Nevada caucuses.”

Ironically, watching CNN right now at 2:26pm EST on Superbowl Sunday, they have repeatedly referred to the “THREE” Republican candidates and totally ignored Ron Paul’s existance on earth.

The CNN female reporter just said “…There is also still a third candidate in the GOP race…”
Referring to Mike Huckabee.

In a National race it seems pretty clear at this point that Ron Paul could beat Huckabee in popular votes. Races like Nevada and Maine have shown that independent voters greatly prefer Paul to Huckabee. Texas and California would choose Paul over Huckabee as well, as would New York. If the two ran head to head Paul would defeat Huckabee.

Still though CNN will not report on Ron Paul, and continues to include Huckabee who has no chance to win the nomination.

Huckabee is simply the way to keep Romney from winning by sucking up conservative votes, he is the tool of McCain and the leftist media.

On the CNN website they do list Ron Paul’s results:

Do you think the blackout of everything Ron Paul caused more people to vote for Romney instead of Paul? All the MSM is saying it’s a two man race instead of a four man race in the since Florida. It’s truely a shame and it makes me sick to think that the Tube is telling the people who and what to vote for in the United States.

btw: Congrats NY Giants.

When Ron Paul is censored or ignored MSM, it
spurs his supporters to donate more money, and spread his website.

I haven’t checked the so-called GOP “front runners” websites, but I dare say- none has near the endorsements from a broad spectrum of Americans, compared to Ron Paul!
