WSJ.com Wants To Know What The Fuss Is About

If you, delusional Wash Uer, honestly believed that politics wasn't all about money - then yesterday was bittersweet. On news that Rep. Ron Paul has raised over $5MM in Q3 - the MSM after a LONG while has finally started paying attention. The Q3 number is impressive because even McCain isn't expected to raise much more than that, Q3 numbers are traditionally softer compared to Q2, and only Ron Paul has increased fundraising from Q2 to Q3. Internet polling, newsgroups, meetups, and MySpace friends don't mean a damn to old school media - the only thing that really counts is money, and it looks like Rep. Paul is a threat in that arena as well.

Ben Worthen at WSJ.com, in reporting on Ron Paul's success via the internet, asked a big question: What's the deal? Many commenters responded with talking points on Paul's positions and his integrity. I included a meaningful and well worded comment as well. However, one gentleman took our reasoned arguments and put them into words anyone can understand...

"Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that isn’t full of shit!"

Bully to that "disinter," bully to that.
