Alex,
He is serious. You said of McCain: "The only reason he has any support at all anymore is because he still gets media attention." Yet that, along with political forum and blogosphere postings is precisely the only reason RP has any support in the view of many. For a discussion of same you can check out
Ron Paul, Politics and the Internet in the '08 Campaign on the RCP site.

That article operates under the idea that if Paul doesn't win the nomination or any of the primaries his campaign will have been a failure. Which is untrue. In a narrow sense they are right that you can't win an election based solely on internet support, but that is intentionally missing the point of why what Paul has done is significant. Put simply, one big part of why his support is internet centered is because his message generally appeals to younger people, and younger people use the internet a lot.
Good job trolling and doing an AC hijack that has turned the discussion to Paul.
