Fox Focus Group Rates Ron Paul the Winner

August 5, 2007

Who won? Was it one of the eight criminal pygmies or Ron Paul? Both the ABC and Drudge polls have Ron leading, of course.

And here’s some inside info: Fox News held a focus group in a diner near Drake University, where the debate was held. 25 people rated the candidates’ answers on Fox laptops, and thanks to a Des Moines Meet-Up member who was able to attend as a restaurant worker, here’s an inside report:

Ron’s answers were rated far higher than other candidates–indeed, one was so high it froze the main computer, requiring a reboot–and when the 25 people were asked to vote on the winner after the debate by raising their hands, Ron also won.

Whether the Sean Hannity producer who ran the focus group will be reporting on this, I think we know.
