The graphic above is from hughhewitt.com. The "conservative" pundits and the MSM, from Fox News (fair and balanced my a%&) to Hugh Hewitt, have adopted the same strategy. They all think that if they ignore Ron Paul he will go away.

I am a realist and realize that Dr. Paul's chances of winning the Republican nomination are slim to none. However, take a look at the graphic revised to include Paul, and decide for yourself whether Ron Paul should be excluded from coverage. Note that his vote totals outnumber those of both Benito and Fred, yet they are both regarded as contenders.
