Ron Paul jumps to over 50% buzz share
by WonkoKevin
Ron Paul jumped to over 50% buzz share in Wonkosphere yesterday, amongst both conservative and liberal bloggers. Paul’s most excellent fundraising day also generated a ton of attention in mainstream media. As Wonkosphere’s summary for October discusses, though, the question is whether this is a one day blip, or if this represents a “step change” in Paul’s buzz share day-by-day–we’ll have to see over the next 7-10 days. If this does represent a new plateau, then we could expect Paul’s national poll numbers to increase. Paul’s attention came at the expense of all the Republican candidates except Fred Thompson; the biggest drops in buzz share were to Giuliani and Huckabee.

Ron Paul’s fundraising successes as of late are an interesting glimpse into how the online community can break the barriers of mainstream media.
But does anyone think he is a protest vote among Republicans upset with their present choices? Paul is practically a libertarian… just a thought.
