Many have commented on the division of time at the debates. This article suggests that this is changing. If so, expect to see both Huckabee (based on his Iowa showing) and Paul (based on his fundraising) to receive debate time more comparable to the 4 "first-tier" candidates.

Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has broken through to the top tier of Republican candidates running for president. He knows it, GOP voters know it, and as previously reported; media outlets are grudgingly admitting it.

Is this a joke site?

How can 2% be top tier?

[GeronL]

If Ron Paul is against the war on terror, then he is for the terror. Prosperity-wrecking fiat money?? Yes, we must be poorer than at any time in history. Never seen so much poverty and people living in caves and digging for grubs as in the US at this time in history.

Paul will bring out the crazy for the debate.

Going to be a good laugh.

Actually this is a good thing.

Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul has broken through to the top tier of Republican candidates running for president. He knows it, GOP voters know it, and as previously reported; media outlets are grudgingly admitting it.

• Fox News, to their credit, has already started giving Paul more air coverage than before. Paul was a guest on Fox Business News yesterday.

• “All over America, our support is wide and deep and growing, and young people are joining like never before. After the Dearborn debate, I went to the University of Michigan for a rally. 2,000 students turned out, something that has happened to no other candidate this year.”

• “After all the aggressive wars, the assaults on our privacy and civil liberties, the oppressive taxation, and the crazed spending and deficits, I believe that many Republican voters are ready to return to our roots. And the big boys feel it too.It is no coincidence that the Republican National Committee invited me to a fundraising dinner involving only top-tier candidates."

Commenting on Alan Greenspan’s recent interview on the Fox Business Channel Paul said:

” the reporter asked if we really needed a central bank. Greenspan looked stunned, and then said that was a good question; he actually talked about fiat money vs. a gold standard. Now, the ex-Fed chairman is not about to endorse our sound monetary policy, but you know our Revolution is working when such a question is asked in the mainstream media, and this powerful man gives such an answer.”

He continued on about the crowd of 2000 at his campaign’s Dearborn rally:

“They cheered all our ideas, but especially our opposition to the Federal Reserve, and our support for real money of gold and silver, as the Constitution mandates, instead of prosperity-wrecking fiat money. American politics hasn't seen anything like this in many decades. It is truly revolutionary”.

Paul’s campaign highlighted that according to the financial reports, the indication is that the only viable candidates where Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and Ron Paul. Mitt Romney’s campaign is viable as long as he continues to spend his personal wealth.

• Ron Paul’s campaign may do many things in this election but it has already made media polls irrelevant suggesting them to be an outdated obsolete method of rating candidates. If the polls were accurate Dr. Paul should not be in third place in the GOP money race.

• The cable networks have been giving a disproportionate amount of time in televised debates to what they believed to be the top tier of candidates (Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, and McCain).

'Expect a reshuffling of that order, replacing McCain with Paul during the Fox News debate in Orlando Florida this Sunday, or viewers may see a flashback to the famous Ronald Reagan line from a presidential debate, when he said, “I’m paying for this microphone” but instead, Paul might say, “the American people have paid for this microphone”.

Thanks to Ron Paul's patriotic courage, we're witnessing a resurgence of authentic conservatism through the new media and Fredrepublic doesn't have a clue.

Oh, and by the way GWB, the Huckster eliminated himself with his pro-alien, anti-American pandering.

If Fox doesn't, they become even more irrelevant than they already are becoming. I'm going to give Brit Hume credit and think he will give Dr. Paul more time than before to make his valid conservative points.

Unfortunately for the 'frontrunners', once this happens, we will see Dr. Paul's campaign donations and his standing in the poll continue to grow at a faster rate than before. Of course expect RudyTom McRomney to start parroting some of Dr. Paul's statements. Fortunately they won't understand what they're talking about (as it will be actual conservative thought) and they'll flub them. Huckabee is (and frankly always has been) irrelevant.

Hey is Carpetbagger Keyes going to be there? This may turn out to be quite funny television

Hey Pat Ron Paulson, we would take you more serious if you wore some Big Shoes and a Red Nose.

Just screaming that you deserve equal time does not make it so. Opinions are not facts. You should learn the difference.
