I don't like him anyway.

But Grey, don't you want to tell everyone about how awesome Ron Paul is? It's what the cool kids are doing.

For a Republican he is awesome. My second post was about you.

I know.

I caved and read the article.

Cliff's notes: Ron Paul's website now has more hits than any other candidate, surpassing Hillary and Obama (he has been declining for the last couple months). Paul also has the most Youtube subscribers of any candidate.

Is it still too early to declare to massive power of the internet?

I figured Dean's surge would allow such but since he got his ass handed to him and the BAJILLIONS of new registrations didn't do [censored] for the 04 elections, i'm still wondering if we need a few more years for internet traffic to be indicative of reality.

Its hard to say.. the surge in interest in Dean came from a perception that he was different than the rest of the candidates. Once the general public found out that he was just another communist douche his fate was sealed.

Paul is not Dean. The day he panders or obfuscates i will personally lick the choad of the entire DNC

Ah, the "internet people"

Nothing exceeds the wackiness of their fringe beliefs, other than their over inflated sense of importance.

online is about the only place he'll surge

the media refuse to acknowledge him other than some Fox analysts asking that he no longer be allowed to debate

there appears to be no tipping point at which Paul can impact the larger national concious

this saddens me as I'm an old school Goldwater republican. Paul is about the only guy that comes close to that line of thought....sigh. Engels was right...the bastard.
