Kadath - here's a caveat. There will eventually come an election in which what you say is no longer true. I think that it is entirely possible for a candidates internet strategy, presence, and support to translate to real-world gains. The first time that happens, there will be a lot of surprise and confusion and armchair quarterbacking. My gut tells me that we aren't quite there yet. Ron Paul's candidacy (and Mike Gravel to a lesser degree) are an important part of that paradigm shift, but I don't think we're close enough for them to push us over the line.

And let's be honest here. Ron Paul came in fifth when two of the anticipated three strongest candidates didn't even show up. If McCain and Giuliani had made even a slight effort, Paul would have been in 7th. It's not time for a victory dance yet.
