Ron Paul to win Maine?

"Maine's GOP polling Friday, Saturday and Sunday may be the Texas congressman's best shot at winning a state, and such a feat would be big coming just days before next week's Super Tuesday presidential preference contests in more than 20 states."

While I wouldn't mind seeing Paul win (a state...he is the absolute underdog afterall) the bigger question is how does he poll nationally? Answer - not very well according to mainstream news media. Paul may be hugely popular on internet polls but they don't seem to have served him that well translating into reality.

Still, good luck to him. :-)

The internet polls may be the reality. Since the internet polls come from many individuals but the media opinion comes from a few controlling interests the internet view may be the more real. People forget that media owners tend to impose their own views on their product rather than reflect the views of the public. In that environment, the public can come to believe that the views of their neighbours are actually the same as the views promoted by the media. That is to say, that since the media has the loudest voice, people can mistakenly assume that it is the popular voice. many people are unwilling to counter the popular voice (many fascinating psych studies have been done on this peer pressure phenomenon) and therefore may chose not to voice an opinion contrary to what they perceive as the consensus. The media, being the most prevalent voice often tries to portray it's opinions as the majority opinions and therefore many people are reluctant to opine tot he contrary and will often parrot media positions as if they were their own to avoid possible social stigma and ridicule. What happens is that many people, all sharing the same opinion. will be unaware of the popularity of their opinion and will keep it to themselves, exacerbating the problem and ,ironically, becoming lonely and isolated in a sea of like minded individuals.

To wit: The "main stream media" is actually only the propaganda arm of a private corporation and as such is a champion of a marginal position rather than the main stream position is pretends to portray.
