Claims:
*Ron Paul has won every televised debate

Quote(s):
" The "polls" say he is at about 4 percent. Whose polls? AP? Gallup? Fox News? Certainly not us.

These so-called polls are as biased and abusive as their sponsors.

The ugly and awful truth of the matter is that Ron Paul has actually won each and every televised GOP debate to date, and the GOP establishment is too embarrassed to admit it or even back him against the Democrat hopefuls."

My thoughts:
I generally agree with the writer (William Gaillard).
