Compete.com analyzed website traffic to each of the GOP candidate’s websites. What they found was that while the corporate candidate’s traffic originated mostly in particular states, Ron Paul’s traffic was more evenly distributed throughout the country.
Update: Below is a comparison of the top 3 candidates:
Notice below that Ron Paul has the most traffic altogether, and was gaining in June while the corporate candidates were on a downward trend:
Ron Paul’s constituency is and always has been everywhere, while most presidential hopefuls merely garner regional support. Such regional support may or may not translate to a nomination, but Dr. Paul will likely show strongly more consistently than Rudy McRomney.
The reason that Ron Paul’s constitutency is more evenly distributed than the corporate and special interest bagmen is that Ron’s message of liberty plays well everywhere and is the same everywhere, i.e., it doesn’t need to be tailored to particular locations. It is a perfect fit right off the rack.
Can you post a graph of what the other candidates look like so we can compare them easily? Thanks.

But Ron Paul’s support is not evenly divided between those on the Internet and those not on the Internet. Ron Paul understands all the issues and has formulated stances that are just and promote individual liberty. Thus, Ron Paul appeals to people who study issues. The biggest gap — chasm — Ron Paul will have to bridge will be to reach those who don’t read, or read only mainstream newspapers. The difficulty is compounded by that the mass media give the other candidates free press and apply the big eraser to Ron Paul.
That big green blob on the west coast of Florida is us. There are several hundred ACTIVE Ron Paul supporters in the Tampa Bay area.
Ron Paul’s support started on the internet but has now moved into the real world. Those 537 MeetUp groups are starting to flex their muscles.
Alas, poor Obama, only has 70 groups, and poor Hillary only 30. The poor dears. I guess it’s time for them to throw in the towel. Ron Paul is here.
