"But the disparity between his online support and his performance in primaries raises the question: Is the power of the Internet to influence politics all that it's cracked up to be?
Not yet, says David Thorburn, the director of the Masschusetts Institute of Technology's Communications Forum and a co-author of Democracy and the New Media. 'Intense and passionate support from an intellectually elite minority that lives in cyberspace does not translate into support among the general population,' he argues. "

There is a problem here that we have not overcome. That is the sad ignoring and black out of Ron Paul by MSM. If we can not overcome this barrier we are in trouble. It is not just the national television networks and newspapers but it trickles down to every local television, radio and newspapers. Yes, many of them are owned by the national corporations. We need some good ideas to overcome this and quickly. Nearly 90 percent if not more trust the MSM and as long as all they are fed is the negative and do not see Ron Paul 2008 than that is where it will remain in the voting booths.
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Webcam, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://webcam-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
Calling Ron Paul's base of supporters "intellectual elites" is a joke.
Mike Gravel's supporters are the intellectuals. Ron Pauls supporters are just whiney middle class white bread fanatics that don't like having to contribute to the nation via Taxes.
Hardly much of any kind of intillectual discussion happening within the Paul camps. mostly all I hear is
Cut spending
Cut Taxes
go back to gold
less government regulations
more Guns!
Privatize EVERYTHING
End Welfarisn = Quit helping the sick and the poor.
hardly much of a political discussion at all. They seem to think they've got it all figured out.
"Abolish the federal government"
when anyone with half a brain knows is a fairy tale cuz the Government is never going to Abolish itself...

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
