Get a load of this.  And if you notice, despite Paul tying for 6th place among Republicans faced off against Obama, he's the one mentioned in the title of the story.

This is why the Ames (Iowa) straw vote is so important.  Send this video to everyone you know and get it shown to every Iowan you can

THAT"S ON DRUDGE! =D

The republicans seems to think that even if Ron Paul is the only one that can win, they would rather hand the election to Obama.

True.  That link pretty much looked like any republican had a shot at winning, why Drudge would have run with Ron Paul?  Romney has 43 to Obamasa 42 at the top of the graph.

That's what I'm saying.  Not only Drudge, but Rasmussen too.  They titled the article with Ron Paul's number.  That is definitely some bias in our favor.  Although they do make it a point that Romney has high marks because he's considered the frontrunner.  I think that is definitely a valid point.  It's not exactly news that Romney is that close (although it is a bit, since he comes out ahead, but not by more than the margin of error), and it's definitely not news that he does better than all the other Republican candidates.  I suppose Paul is the best fit for one that is newsworthy, as he's considered so low on the totem pole, but he does so well...better than others who are considered better chances.

But then again, they could have easily done something like this:

That time magazine poll had Paul beating Romney 58% to 26%.  then they ran a cover with the Constitution running through a shredder rather than Paul...

People must realize that Paul is the only serious one about ending the wars.
