Yes, but what has Paul's campaign done to get more media coverage? He has an awesome grass roots campaign run but as far as a traditional campaign there's not much going on. Paul might have been able to make more of his campaign but he didn't and time is about up.
His interviews where he says the "mainstream media" is "scared" of him might be endearing to his hardcore supporters but they are gaining him no ground with middle America. It just comes off as "sour grapes". A loser explaining why he is losing. Contrast that with Hillary who always sounds like she knows she is going to win (whether true or not).
Look at Huckabee. He has risen from as low in the polls as Paul to being a viable candidate. Not saying he will win. Just that Huckabee rose because of Huckabee and his campaign strategy (attack other candidates!).
Paul has stayed a long shot candidate because of Paul. what's Paul's STRATEGY to get more media coverage? Raise money on the internet and continue to fuel the fire of media conspiracies against him with his small but loyal group of supporters? Not working. Not enough anyway.
