http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/21/eveningnews/main3640041.shtml

Media Outlet:
*Old Media
*National

Content:
*Paul refuses to go away
*Paul is currently tied for third in Iowa

Tone:
*Very positive

Claims:
*CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds speaking with different people supporting Paul

Quote(s):
"Unlike other candidates consigned to the periphery, Paul has refused to go away. He is now in a tie for third in Iowa with supposed top-tier hopefuls.

And in live-free-or-die New Hampshire, he believes his anti-Iraq war, anti-tax, pro-freedom message with its libertarian tinge may resonate.

"People are flocking to the campaign," says Paul. "Maybe they've been starved for a campaign like this.""

My thoughts:
I'm surprised at the tone, especially from CBS, it's overwhelmingly positive and optimistic towards Paul.
