Why does the media always leave out Ron Paul? Since Tancredo, Hunter, Thompson, and Giuliani dropped out, Paul has been the only long-shot Republican candidate in the race, and the media sometimes treats him like he doesn't even exist. I didn't mind it so much when there were a bunch of long shots, and the media tended to ignore them and focus on the more mainstream candidates. But now Paul (and occasionally Huckabee) tends to be the only one who gets left out, which is really starting to annoy me. He may not have much of a chance, but I think he's the best, and he certainly deserves to be recognized as a candidate.
For example, right after Edwards and Giuliani dropped out, Fox 25 news proclaimed that there were now only 4 candidates left and showed a graphic of Clinton, Obama, McCain, and Romney (ok, they left out Huckabee too). An article from a while back in the Boston Globe analyzes the font choices in all the candidates' posters except for Paul's. And today the Boston Herald website shows the MA primary results at the top of the page, listing the top 3 candidates for each party. They even show Edwards, who dropped out, but no Paul!

Imperial you are right, what if McCain dies, he's 70 years old. That leave Huck and Paul still standing. That puts them in a good spot as opposed to Romney and Rudy.
