According to the Des Moines Register, Ron and McCain tie at 7 percent in the newly-posted Iowa poll:
Huckabee: 29%
Romney: 24%
Giuliani: 13%
Thompson: 9%
Ron Paul: 7%
McCain: 7%
Tancredo: 6%
Hunter: 1%
The Ron Paul Revolution is aching for a blimp. Even though its stated goal had been $350,000, it's raking in nearly half a million in donations.
Santa, who's thought to be capable of "harming" himself by not wearing a seat belt at 5 mph, feels the wrath of the Nanny State.
Here's CNN treating Ron Paul decently by giving him a not-too-bad interview after the debate.
(Thanks to Lew for reporting this on his blog.)
P.S. The first deliberately-planted CNN question regarding the Council on Foreign Relations (a group to which all the candidates except Ron belong) was not a surprise to be honest. After all, the CFR is a pro-war, pro-Big Business, pro-empire lobbying group which secretly touts the Neo-Con line all the way.
Lew pointed this out on his blog regarding the YouTube/CNN debate. Considering this was the worst debate ever, it's not a surprise that the debate was rigged...big time!
From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum
Here are our counts for how long each candidate spoke during the first part of the debate
Romney -- 7:03, during 9 times
McCain -- 5:09, during 4 times
Giuliani -- 5:08, during 9 times
Thompson -- 4:38, during 4 times
Huckabee -- 4:14, during 5 times
Paul -- 3:27, during 4 times
Tancredo -- 2:20, during 4 times
Hunter -- 2:16, during 3 times
One note -- Huckabee did not get a chance to speak until 26 minutes into the debate, and Paul did not get his chance until more than a half hour into the debate.
