In recent poll in New Hampshire Ron Paul is polling ahead of a so called GOP front-runner in Fred Thompson. Ron Paul is still considered a long shot however. Ron Paul is also dangerously close to passing Thompson in Iowa.
So I have to wonder, how is Ron Paul a long shot while Thompson is still a front-runner? Ron Paul polls ahead of Thompson in two of the most important primary states. Ron Paul is clearly still on the rise as his polling numbers have been increasing steadily throughout the year.
The media is finally taking note of Ron Paul as a serious candidate also. He is getting publicity through media that is not trying to put him down and relish him to nothing. Recently he has had more coverage on CNN by far than Thompson, and I am not just talking about after the money-bomb, but also before. Ron Paul also fundraises as a front-runner.
This is what truly puzzles me. The coverage and fundraising and polling is as good or better for Ron Paul than Fred Thomspon, yet nobody is recognizing Paul as a front-runner, but have no problem in saying Fred Thomspon is one. People have no problem saying they wouldn't be surprised if Thomspon wins the nomination, but when someone says Ron Paul has a legit chance they will not take it. How does this work? It doesn't. The GOP is truly flawed as is the elections in this age.
The media is having an effect on the elections, and is basically being given power to choose candidates. The media can choose who they want to cover and who they cover is who the people see. The media can pretty much keep a serious candidate from winning if they don't want him to win by keeping him off their station. The media is a negative effect on fair elections. I am not saying it is a negative effect on elections, but it does not allow for fair elections.
It is time for us, as American citizens, to take back our country and find some way to get the media to recognize all candidates and allow for a fair election that will give people the knowledge to choose the person they see as the best candidate, whoever that may be.

What Impact does the New Hampshire Primary have on Ron Paul?
Here I pose a question to you and I ask for your feedback on this one. What effect will the New Hampshire primary, the first primary, have on Ron Paul and his chances at the Republican presidential bid?
The New Hampshire primary, being the first primary in the nation, sets the tone for the rest of the nation's primaries and caucuses. The primary is known as a key one to win and has a big impact on the campaigns for the rest of the primary season.
I believe that this state can make or break the chances of Ron Paul.
If Ron Paul happens to win this state it will give the media nothing to talk bad about him with. It will finally silence the media and they won't be able to use the "spam" excuse and say his voters cheated in the primary. It will also give him an extra boost in publicity as the media surely can't ignore Ron winning this state and if it does it will give all of us supporters more to feed to others on how he has been shut down by the media. This boost will give Ron Paul nearly all the moment going into the other states and will allow people to feel possible more comfortable voting him knowing he has a chance (I do know of many people who vote for their second favorite candidates because their first they believe has no chance of winning).
On the other side of the wall, if Ron Paul doesn't win the state, even if its by the slimmest of margins, the media will keep feeding the "Ron Paul has no chance and is made up of only supporters who make him look popular". The media will continue to make him out as a failure even this early in the primary season. Media is Ron's biggest enemy and if he doesn't do well early they will make him seem like an unpopular choice overall making him less popular to those who have yet to vote.
That is my input, but this something I want to hear from what other supporters or naysayers have to say. So leave some comments and I will respond. I would like to see what is seen out there about Ron Paul and what he needs early.
