While complaints about a lack of media coverage are typical coming from any struggling candidate, Paul boosters, and even some independent observers, have argued that Paul's media blackout is particularly striking considering his concrete successes on the campaign trail. By our count those successes include:
Winning the Los Angeles Country Straw Poll last week, with more votes than Mitt Romney and Herman Cain combined.
On October 8, winning the Values Voter straw poll in Washington, D.C.
Raising $8.3 million in the third quarter, putting his fundraising clout way ahead of other second-tier candidates such as Herman Cain, who raised $2.8 million in the quarter, Michele Bachmann, who raised $4.1 million, and Rick Santorum, who raised less than $1 million.
Winning the California Republican Party straw poll in September.
Taking a close second in the Ames straw poll in Iowa in August behind Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
