Ron Paul Builds Momentum

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 8, 2007

ARLINGTON, VA – Congressman Ron Paul's support has soared since the first Republican presidential debate. Conservative commentator John McLaughlin, host of “The McLaughlin Group," cited Ron Paul as having given "the best performance of the debate." In fact, the Paul campaign's apparent strength has many other pundits scrambling to explain it. Paul campaign officials offer the following examples of the candidate's rising success.

Since the debate on May 3, Ron Paul:

Handily won two post-debate polls posted by event sponsor MSNBC
Placed a close third (18%) in a post-debate poll on the conservative Drudge Report
Won an ABCNews.com online debate poll with 84%
Won a C-SPAN online GOP candidate poll with 69%
Became the third most-mentioned person in the blogosphere, beating out Paris Hilton, according to the reputable Technorati.com
Produced a YouTube.com video that was ranked the 8th most popular overall video, and the most-viewed political video
Was featured, by popular demand, on the front of Digg.com
Generated so many bulletin posts on MySpace.com that the site owner News Corp. blocked all additional posts about Dr. Paul
Became a "most searched" term on Google and Yahoo!
Saw a quadrupling of daily visitors to RonPaul2008.com
"These figures speak for themselves," said campaign chairman Kent Snyder. "Ron Paul has quickly become a strong contender for the GOP nomination because of his powerful message of freedom and limited government."

Ron Paul Web Traffic

RLC Member Phil Pepin noticed that web traffic to the Ron Paul site tripled after the debate, while visits to other GOP candidate sites dropped precipitously. Although the Paul site has only been operational since March, the recent volume closely approaches the highest visit counts to the Giuliani and McCain webisites and is currently five times higher than the major candidates.
