My point here goes to the lack of passion. While Ron Paul certainly has a net-based passion, it's not translating to votes. With McCain, it seems he's become "acceptable"...but sometimes "acceptable" doens't get people out to vote. Whereas Obama inspires devotion. Devotion gets votes. Saul

However, I think that the voting majority is not one to utilize the web much. Perhaps McCain's support comes from corners of the country and areas that are not focused on using and interacting with the web. What percentage of households have DSL - and therefore the capability to view videos? And if they do, where are they in the country? Large metropolitan cities that vote Democrat - Ron Paul is driven by the urban libertarian group and they are mostly young 20 and 30 somethings. I think that it is an interesting gauge to look at but I am certainly not convinced that it it reflects the true strength of a candidate. SAul I think that it is a critical element in the campaign.
