Why Ron Paul will win 2008 election.

Because he is the only honest politician in race, and people are sick of corrupted politics.

We've seen it all before. Corporate owned mass media cover-ups, weapons of mass deception.[1][2]

Ron Paul will win because they are trying so hard to make you believe he has no chance.

Not only media tries to degrade his strength, but also other candidates are trying to eliminate him from future debates, because they are afraid of his popularity.[3][4]

I may argue now that not covering Ron's campaign in the media does not mean that they are trying to misrepresent his popularity, but that they may be more interested in other candidates. But why are they called news agencies if they don't represent the reality as it is. In addition, they DO TRY to present Paul as just a marginal candidate who has no chance of winning. You may consider those attempts insignificant, but what we see and hear, reaches us subconsciously and effects our decisions. [5][6] So, is the media showing 'What You Want to See', or 'What They Want You to See' and what they want you to believe is happening?

People are NOT stupid, and that is why more and more people turn to the web to watch TV, and to inform themselves.[7][8]'Mass media content is determined by what people want to see.' I've heard this amusing thought few years ago when someone tried to explain to me that TV and radio programs are guided by the 'market demand'. Let's see how this works in the case of Ron Paul presence in media:

Google Trends and Alexa rating tool show that users want to read about Ron Paul the most. In news coverage however, all other major candidates are by far more mentioned. [9][10]Why Ron Paul will win 2008 election. If Ron Paul had been nominated, he would have been the Republicans' strongest candidate, and Obama would have much less chanse of winning.
