Ranks of Ron Paul Volunteers

According to today's NYT front page article it appears that Ron Paul has the youth group, reminiscent of the Clean Gene supporters of Senator Gene McCarthy presidential bid in 1968. Another article in the same paper talk of how the Republican candidates are using the social media to promote their message. I don't think the regular members of the GOP understand social media.  First its tough to get your message out to the old folks if they are not online and do not know what Face Book is.  As I remarked earlier,  Ron Paul looks old but has a message that appeals to the young, who happen to be tech and media savvy.  Michele Bachman and Rick Santorum look young and attractive but they appeal to a constituency that have to pull out their ear horns and ask, "eh .. what did you say? "
