It seems the media black out on Dr. No could be countered if Ron Paul grows another 44 feet or so:
Fundley first became intrigued with the Ron Paul phenomenon after visiting a website that tracks various Ron Paul campaign statistics. After viewing Paul’s statistical data, Fundley wondered if the GOP candidate could be quantified in other ways. “I began looking at various factors involved in the Paul campaign,” Fundley explained. “Factors such as money raised, his support base, his voting record, his political views, personal characteristics and media attention. I then built a computer model that calculates a winning or losing GOP primary outcome, based on these various factors.”
At first, Fundley could come up with no successful outcome for Ron Paul in the GOP primary race. Surprised, he tried to determine which of the factors had the most impact on all the others.
“Eventually,” Fundley said, “I found that there was a very simple reason why Dr. Paul could not win in my computer model. The most important factor seems to be the mainstream media’s silence regarding his campaign. Without appropriate media attention, the other factors don’t matter very much.”
But surprisingly, Fundley did find one factor that would force the mainstream media to pay attention to Paul. “It turns out that if Ron Paul’s height is raised to 50 feet, the media is compelled to report on him. This in turn causes increased public awareness and support for the Paul campaign. A 50 foot Ron Paul could win.”
To test his theory, Fundley is in the process of building a 50 foot replica of a smiling Ron Paul, which he intends to place next to various mainstream media broadcasting studios.
I think he may be onto something here.
