On Technorati, which offers a real-time glimpse of the blogosphere, the most frequently searched term this week was "YouTube."

Then comes "Ron Paul."

The presence of the obscure Republican congressman from Texas on a list that includes terms such as "Sopranos," "Paris Hilton" and "iPhone" is a sign of the online buzz building around the long-shot Republican presidential hopeful -- even as mainstream political pundits have written him off.

Howard Dean’s “lead” was only on the intenet too. The media can say he fell from grace because of a goofy scream but he never had genuine support to begin with. The DNC paid him back for stepping aside by giving him party leadership.

People put WAY too much confidence in online polls which are entirely unscientific and even hackable.

LOL... good one FRiend.

Don’t laugh, if enough of these people vote in the Republican primaries, Ron may be your candidate.
I once voted in the Democratic primary just so I could vote for their weakest candidate.

It’s amazing what ten groupies can do while looking for anything about their idol.

L Ron Paul is a legend in his own mind.

I was going say he was on Osama Bin Laden’s AOL buddy list, but that would be silly because I think Ron Paul doesn’t use AOL anymore. Bin Laden has his hotmail address.

"Ron Paul Is Huge on the Web"

.....a Huge Joke that is!

Ron Paul Back on LGF Poll

Also take a look at FR polls with Ron Paul on them and notice how many non-member votes he gets. I don't know why his people bother. Ron Paul is a mere curiosity in the Presidential race, sort of a GOP Kucinich without the hot wife.

"Ron Paul is huge on the web."

The equivalent is "David Hasselhof is huge in Germany".

Full Disclosure, I've voted for Ron Paul for President.

Ron Paul Is Huge on the Web

So was Howard Dean. The good news is that DEean lost and became chairman of the DNC. Maybe Paul will become Chairman of the RNC. A bit of a nut, but at least he has a pair of them.
