and of course the neocons will quickly say that CNN is mounting a positive RP campaign because they think that he is going to be the easiest candidate for Obama to beat.

Interesting dynamic. If the MSM have a love affair with Paul, and he gets the nomination, then when they shift gears to dovetail the Obama propaganda machine in the general, there just might be some credibility issues.

Doubt it. Perry, Romney and Bachmann...in that order are all easier to defeat then Paul...IMHO.

MSM liberals want Paul to win the nomination because they don't think he can beat Obama.

Then why do they only seem to be covering Perry, Bachmann and Romney?

You are confusing covering with rooting for or hoping.

I guess if they never talk about Paul or cover him then how do you know if they want him to win?

You might have a point if he were Thad McCotter. But he's within the margin of error of winning states in some polls, and has near universal name recognition, and has unquestionably been the intellectual force behind the Tea Party and new Republicans.

The Huffington Post writer who coined the "Blue Republican" movement for Democrats to register Republican and vote Ron Paul in the primary unloads on everybody in the media:
