What’s your take on those ‘mistakes’ ? Main compilation starts from 8 minutes

    This compilation is making a mountain range out of a molehill. How dare a segment sort ascending?! How dare they cover a second place winner in a meaningless poll (never mind the other articles that cover Ron Paul)?! Only Ron Paul and his (actually small) legion of loyal followers matter! He was never cheated out of anything because he was never going to win.

      Actually, poll outcomes are very influential…

      Depends what you are willing to tolerate from ‘nonbiased media’ i guess

        Straw polls, not polls as a whole. Straw polls only reach the most highly motivated people since they are taken early and at conferences. The type of people who would travel to a conference two years before the actual election are the activist types. They tend to get spurts of activity early in the race, but quickly get drowned out when more mainstream voters tune in. Polls in general that early are rarely worth all that much. That year, several different candidates took their time at the top of the polls before fading out.

          Still, for me, those sort of tricks aren’t a mistake. There’s too much involved with politics.
          Thanks for the extra insight though. Cheers
