Yes, Ron Paul. You know, the super-conservative tea bagger favorite that the media ignores? Ron Paul.

He's got a 4-point lead over Newsweek covergirl Michelle Bachmann. He's tied with Rick Perry. "Fabulously Wealthy" Mitt Romney has a 2-point lead on Fabulously Socialist Obama.

President Ron Paul, ladies and gentlemen.

Obama in Close Race Against Romney, Perry, Bachmann, Paul

Romney has slight edge over Obama, Bachmann slightly lags

by Frank Newport

PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama is closely matched against each of four possible Republican opponents when registered voters are asked whom they would support if the 2012 presidential election were held today. Mitt Romney leads Obama by two percentage points, 48% to 46%, Rick Perry and Obama are tied at 47%, and Obama edges out Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann by two and four points, respectively.

At this point in 2007, the frontrunner and supposed lock on the nomination for the GOP was Rudy Giuliani, followed by Fred Thompson.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton was way out in the lead.

Fox is primarily ignoring Ron Paul, who is one of the most moderate of the current crop. He's far more libertarian than conservative in both his economic and social views. He at least gets his name mentioned on the other networks. Fox pretends he's not in the room.
