For real, guys. So he gets ignored by some talking heads when they mention polls. The guys is all over the place everywhere else. Now he has to go on The Daily Show and whine about how he's like the 13th floor at a hotel? If he hates being "ignored" this much/is so desperate for attention, no doubt he'll go back on his decision to retire from Congress.
It's less "ignored" and more "dismissed off hand".
The prime example would be the last Republican debate. Someone said "Ron Paul" and the panelist talking about the candidates said something along the lines of "I don't want to talk about Ron Paul, lets do that later".
If he actually says something, unless it is something they want to attack him on (say, foreign policy), he is ignored. If he polls well, manages to pull off something impressive, makes a good point, etc he is either ignored in a rather blatant manner (again, the last debate where even losers with a fraction of his support like Huntsman had considerably more time/questions), or he is brushed aside or mentioned in passing, like in the context of "BACHMANN WINS AMES, PAWLENY COMES THIRD" or "ROMNEY WINNING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, HUNTSMAN'S THIRD AT 10% INDICATES INCREDIBLE SUPPORT, PERRY IN FOURTH" where Paul is mentioned for maybe a sentence or two. Its like the American media is attempting to imitate Pravda or something.
