D\u00e9cid\u00e9ment, le r\u00e9publicain Ron Paul, le marginal, le microscopique candidat libertarien \u00e0 la d\u00e9signation r\u00e9publicaine pour les pr\u00e9sidentielles, celui qui donne pourtant des le\u00e7ons de lecture pour l’\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 Giuliani<\/a>, ne cesse d’affirmer un succ\u00e8s extraordinaire sur le Web. Il a, ce 16 juin<\/a>, les honneurs du Washington Post<\/em>. Le grand quotidien MSM de la capitale consacre un article \u00e0 ce succ\u00e8s \u00e9tonnant, qui se poursuit avec insistance sur le Web<\/em>. Curieusement, notent les strat\u00e8ges r\u00e9publicains, ce succ\u00e8s ne se r\u00e9percutent pas dans les sondages du parti, au contraire, par exemple, du succ\u00e8s d’Obama chez les d\u00e9mocrates. (A noter qu’Obama est un candidat tr\u00e8s dans la ligne du parti pour ce qui concerne la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale, ce qui n’est \u00e9videmment pas le cas de Ron Paul.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tQuoi qu’il en soit, ce succ\u00e8s persistant de Ron Paul oblige les grands m\u00e9dias dans la ligne du parti \u00e0 s’en faire l’\u00e9cho. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abOn Technorati, which offers a real-time glimpse of the blogosphere, the most frequently searched term this week was YouTube.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThen comes Ron Paul.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe presence of the obscure Republican congressman from Texas on a list that includes terms such as Sopranos, Paris Hilton and iPhone is a sign of the online buzz building around the long-shot Republican presidential hopeful even as mainstream political pundits have written him off.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbRep. Ron Paul is more popular on Facebook than Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). He’s got more friends on MySpace than former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. His MeetUp groups, with 11,924 members in 279 cities, are the biggest in the Republican field. And his official YouTube videos, including clips of his three debate appearances, have been viewed nearly 1.1 million times more than those of any other candidate, Republican or Democrat, except Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbNo one’s more surprised at this robust Web presence than Paul himself, a self-described old-school, pen-and-paper guy who’s serving his 10th congressional term and was the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president in 1988.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbTo tell you the truth, I hadn’t heard about this YouTube and all the other Internet sites until supporters started gathering in them, confessed Paul, 71, who said that he’s raised about $100,000 after each of the three debates. Not bad considering that his campaign had less than $10,000 when his exploratory committee was formed in mid-February. I tell you I’ve never raised money as efficiently as that, in all my years in Congress, and all I’m doing is speaking my mind.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThat means saying again and again that the Republican Party, especially when it comes to government spending and foreign policy, is in shambles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbBut while many Democrats have welcomed the young and fresh-faced Obama, who’s trailing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) in most public opinion polls, Paul is barely making a dent in the Republican polls.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbRepublican strategists point out that libertarians, who make up a small but vocal portion of the Republican base, intrinsically gravitate toward the Web’s anything-goes, leave-me-alone nature. They also say that his Web presence proves that the Internet can be a great equalizer in the race, giving a much-needed boost to a fringe candidate with little money and only a shadow of the campaign staffs marshaled by Romney, McCain and former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
