Eh...I think Paul represents "nutroots" more than "netroots" - he seems to be more proof of the amplified power of the individual in the Information Age (the small number of folks supporting him can amplify their support through the use of technology) than he is proof of a strong popular movement to realign the GOP along a different set of priorities. Huckabee has the benefit of better representing the average GOP voter than any of the current frontrunners. I don't think the same can be said for Paul.

By March 2008, the primary race is between Dr. Paul and Mr. Huckakbee
