USADaily reports that the Iowa GOP debate will not allow participation by those with less than 5% in the polls. Someone is scared of the Ron Paul train.

Yeah whats the deal? FOX NEWS is trying supress Ron Paul? …Yeah they are scared alright!!!

Of course, the money bomb buzz may push him past that - if there are more polls done by the 4th. Searching Google News shows a lot of news stations like CBS and the Atlantic Online, the Boston Globe and the Grey Lady are starting to call him “validated.” However, many pundits still think it will be a stretch for him to gather even 5% of the votes in the primary. So, what comes first, the chicken or the egg? Will he start getting higher numbers in the polls without MSM coverage? Name recognition comes from it being on the tips of the tongues of the anchors, and most anchors are reluctant to talk about him.

ugh, enough with the political rants. let’s have some more pictures or something.

Nathanael on November 8th, 2007 at 12:45 pm

Ah, Sarah, you’ve confirmed what I longed feared… no one cares about me as a person, only as the progenitor and photographer.

Whoa. You are getting trackbacks.

Nathanael on November 8th, 2007 at 1:28 pm

Not really… it were a splog.

Nathanael on November 9th, 2007 at 2:27 pm

I’ll let you have the last word on that.

So, Fox is claiming it’s the Iowa GOP that’s making this decision. Which, doesn’t surprise me because they refused to invite RP to the Christian Alliance/Tax Relief Forum back in June. RP supporters got blazing mad and showed up in droves at the forum.

Yeah, ’cause Rudy McRomney are so much more appealing to Christians looking for lower taxes and Ron Paul doesn’t know anything about any of that… duh.
