Ron Paul Rules YouTube and Internet

While political analysts and experts have written off Ron Paul as a fringe candidate, he is busy creating a stir a on the Internet which is dominated by the likes of Tony Soprano and Paris Hilton.

If you check Facebook, Ron Paul is more popular than John McCain. He has more friends on MySpace than Mitt Romney. And, he has the largest MeetUp groups among all Republican presidential contenders; Ron Paul has 11,924 in 239 cities across America.

On YouTube, Ron Paul’s official video has been viewed nearly 1.1 million times. That is more than any other Republican or Democratic presidential candidate with the exception of Barack Obama.

So, what is it that makes Ron Paul rule the Internet and YouTube? Many believe (here I must add the netizens) it is his “No’s”. He is against the war in Iraq, he is against the federal ban on same sex marriages, and this list can continue.

As Ron Paul said, “I am for the individual. I’m not for the government.” It could be this statement that Internet users think is worth their while to support a so-called obscure Republican presidential hopeful.

The support that Ron Paul has across the Internet no longer suggests that he is a fringe candidate. Media and political analysts should wake up and take note of this fact.
