I don't comment on it much anymore because we all know that's it's happening every day. I thought I would do a quick update though on some recent events.
The Republican Party in Nevada and Louisiana changed the rules for participation every few days throwing everything into complete confusion.
In Louisiana, hundreds of Ron Paul supporters were forced to fill out provisional ballots that were counted and McCain was announced to be the winner. Ron Paul came in second but they haven't released numbers so we don't know by how much or if the discounted Ron Paul votes would have changed things.
In the debate last night, here's a breakdown of speaking time for candidates:
Romney: 21:11, during 13 times
McCain: 16:00, during 13 times
Giuliani: 13:50, during 11 times
Huckabee: 12:11, during nine times
Paul: 6:31, during six times
Less than half the time than Rudy, who Ron Paul has beat in every primary and caucus except New Hampshire (which is being recounted).
But don't expect the recount to change anything. Campaign official picking up the ballot boxes are doing everything they can to lose citizens trying to keep an eye on things. The cop escort and the van with the ballots are speeding through school zones, cutting through parking lots, and doubling back in an effort to get out of view.
All that along with the usual Old Media brown out.
The fact that he's done as well as he has speaks volumes about the response to his message when people do actually finally hear it.
