I hate to say it because I really like Ron Paul, but I don't think he has a chance. Although he's all over the internet, the net savvy population is a pathetic minority. 99% of the people who work on computers all day never get past the mainstream media outlets, not to mention the elderly etc. As long as big media can freeze out candidates like Paul and Gravel it doesn't matter how many times they make the front page of Digg. Maybe in 20 years things will be different. I hope so.
I found this article very interesting. I can only dream of the day when a front page Digg or mention in the NY Times hardly makes a ripple in my daily traffic.
