More Are Searching For Ron Paul

Thursday, September 06, 2007

When comparing Ron Paul with the "front runner" Republican candidates in Google Trends you'll see that far more people are searching for Ron Paul than for Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, or John McCain.

Is this merely because he's unknown and people are curious? Even if that's the case, it's quite revealing the amount of interest that regular people are showing in Ron Paul. The things that Ron Paul is saying are striking a nerve with the people of America and they want to find out more. People want their civil liberties back. People want us to stop going to war for oil.

The amazing thing is how many people are displaying an interest in Ron Paul despite the fact that he's barely mentioned in the mainstream press compared to the other four Republican candidates that I mentioned.

Why is the mainstream press not following a candidate that obviously is exciting a lot of people?
