Or perhaps I'm misinformed.
I was told that Ron Paul finished ahead of Guilliani in the Iowa primaries. For what that's worth.
I was at the pub last night and there was a muted TV on a major news station showing a red pie chart of the Iowa results. Four of the slices were colored and labeled with 4 GOP candidates. Ron Paul's slice was not one of the highlighted and labeled slices, his was apparently one of the greyed-out slices. You know, the small ones that aren't worth highlighting and labeling. It makes fine sense to only label and highlight the four biggest slices, and for the losers at the bottom, well, better luck next time.
Except they didn't highlight the four biggest slices. There was a conspicuously large grayed-out slice that was bigger than Guilliani's just sitting there. I was like, wait, whose slice is that? And then it hit me. In other words, they highlighted the largest, the 2nd largest, the 3rd largest, skipped Ron Paul, and highlighted the 5th largest. Because apparently Guilliani is newsworthy, and Ron Paul isn't, even if Ron Paul got more votes.
