Thanks for the posting and the links to the other Ron Paul analysis. Reading it all, I remembered what Valdis Krebs from orgnet wrote in the IPDI book on social-networks and UGM (which you contributed to, I believe). Basically, Krebs said that Dean’s biggest mistake was in being unable to translate his Internet following into effective “boots on the ground” community building in Iowa (the infamous “orange hats” brigade, for example).

Do you agree with Krebs, and do you think Paul is falling into the same trap?
