Without knowing how well researched the article is, if you had only seen internet commentary in our last election you might be surprised that Ron Paul isn't our current president. The 'net seems to have a voice unto its own.

- dkarl 17y agoYep, lots of Obama support. On the other hand, I didn't see much McCain support. On election day, McCain had roughly 85% as much support as Obama. Most of those voters were invisible to me. Probably partly because they're underrepresented on the internet, and probably partly because I would only visit the sites where they congregate if there was something unintentionally hilarious there to point and laugh at. The internet is kind of like a big city; once you get your bearings, most of it becomes invisible to you.
