The MSM will spin and twist the Rand thing until they give him legitimacy,

I see it coming. Some have already added to their discussions that he has a valid point. By the end of next week, they will revere him more than they do Sarah Palin.

1. the MSM obviously doesn't want to go there

if they did, they would have been asking teabaggers all along about how extreme their extremism actually is.

2. I hope so.

The media can do this, but people will reject it and it will create a positive ideological polarization and consolidate "moderates" with the Democrats.

3. Been noticing that too

They have been giving him so much air time. Never really noticed him until around the election time then he was on every stage. I mean station.

4. I thought that too but I changed my mind....

when he continues to come up with a new flub on a daily basis.

5. that will only go so far - he's good TV so they want to keep him around

They have to legitimize him enough that they can justify continually shoving him onto the air, without legitimizing him so much that they lose credibility or he becomes boring.
