    You do a pretty good job explaining why the internet is such a hot bed of support for candidates who use it. 

    Obviously you are pretty biased for the democrats but you fail to mention the one candidate who has more of a online presence than most of the other candidates put together.  Ron Paul is just about the only candidate who has a true grassroots campaign that was started almost exclusively on the web. 

    You mention MySpace and Youtube, both of which Ron Paul has more supporters and subscribers than any other candidate on both sides of the political spectrum. 

    Ron Paul’s campaign is just about the only campaign that deserves to be mentioned when talking about viral grassroots support that has blossomed with the use of the internet. 

    The best example of this is Ron Paul’s ability to raise more than $6 million in one day by a completely grassroots campaign begun by his supporters.

    Again good job on the article.
