Penis envy.
Check out the traffic details on RedState, the "most important" conservative political blog that is supposed to encompass all Republican candidates and policy according to the MSM, as compaired to the DailyPaul, a blog site only about Paul. Notice Redstate is all in the red over the last three months, as the neo-con movement fades into the dust bin of history, while Paul's blog traffic is up 144% over the last 3 months. Also note that the DailyPaul has a higher web ranking than RedState... and most people outside the Paulites have probably never heard of the DailyPaul. Makes you think that Ron Paul has more supporters than the rest of the conservative movement as a whole, huh?
