The candidate who should be president is now a huge attraction on both Google and You Tube.. It's not translating into poll results, though.. he still trails behind the major candidates.. One could only hope this surge of youth-invigorated Paulamania will somehow translate into an electoral revolution in 2008.. As I said, one could only hope.. In the meantime, as I mentioned in an earlier post today, an AP story today gave us a 65-word-story on the Texas Congressman.. His "unusual appeal." Some other Random Ron rakings: The Congressman has more donations from active military soldiers than any other Republican candidate.. The new favorite for people looking for an outsider.. On Dennis Miller, Paul says he would like to do some things but cannot because of Constitutional limitations that he pledges he would follow.. Paul talks about freedom on the Internet.. So the question: Does the media's insistence on using the adjectives "long-shot" or "unusual" or "contrarian" or second tier" before Paul's name keep him where he is? Or is it a false appeal online? Can the Net be so disconnected from the real campaign? Or are people just so sick of the campaign becoming an earlier and earlier process that it is not even paying attention to a thing?
