At the risk of annoying supporters of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who believe and argue fervently that the mainstream news media don't pay attention to their candidate, it must be noted that Twitter and Facebook don't, either.
Accusations that news organizations are ignoring Paul's presidential campaign are an organizing principle of his supporters, who take to Facebook and Twitter to complain that the only reason Paul isn't leading is a "media blackout."
In fact, Paul's rally was covered by the major St. Louis media but never mind that perception matters in politics. And the perception in some quarters is that the media are actively trying to sink Paul's campaign. Pauls best political move right now would be to continue with the race but ask Rommney for Vice Presidency if he wins.
