Dr. Ron Paul has become an internet sensation, according to his website www.RonPaul2008.com. The Ron Paul 2008 site states that he is the most requested Republican candidate on Eventful.com, a site which allows users to request that a person (usually an entertainer) visit their area. In addition, the Ron Paul 2008 site reports that Dr. Paul has twice as many You Tube subscribers as all of the other Republican candidates combined.

“Dr. Ron Paul has become an internet sensation”

I guess that goes to show what a flakey place the Internet can be

[MilesVeritatis]

Sounds similar to the Howard Dean experience. We all know what happened there. YEEARGH!

[DakotaRed]

Ron Who?

[Erik Latranyi]

Of course!

Now that Rosie has time in the morning, she’s visiting all her favorite canidate’s websites!

Ron Paul is running for president? President of what?

Most Republicans seem to favor one Northeastern liberal gun grabber or another, and most Dems seem to favor Hillary, but there’s nothing flakey about either of those positions, is there? ;-)

Naw... Dean actually managed to raise money and build some organization on the Internet before he self-imploded.

Ron Paul is more popular on the internet than he is with Republican voters.

Let me know when Ron Paul breaks the margin of error in a reputable poll.

In the mean time,

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Ron Paul is NOT a statesman.....he is correct in many positions, but he will have less cooperation from congress than Bush...

We require a powerful President and not some Bozo that simply can't get the job done and can't find his..............little pen (veto....not the other one).

[Badeye]

Gee, very similiar to a headline for early 2004.

“Howard Dean gains steam via the internet’.

The difference being Ron Paul won’t do as well as Dr Scream did.

[SonOfEire]

Ron Paul is exactly what this country needs, IMO. Time to get back to the Founding Fathers’ idea of small government, low taxes, and foreign non-interventionism.

Well it's sure not President of 9/11. St. Rudy has that one all wrapped up

You might want to tell those "children" who keep volunteering then.

..that is an inaccurate and completely irresponsible statement--and just what do you consider a neo-con anyway?

..a lot of Dr. Paul's following is in the same vein as Jesse Ventura's--political popularity based upon entertainment value...
