Presidential elections are built on complex systems. The notion that something going "viral" is going to get someone elected president is just not in the cards. Someone getting elected with "virtually no financial backing" is not going to happen. I understand the concepts but if what you say is true Ron Paul would have been elected in the last election cycle.

Well, I sort of agree. I think what has a better chance of happening is something going viral keeping someone from being elected. Bur “viral” alone is not enough. It does somewhat level the playing field. That is why I said that money still talks, but not as loud as it used to.
