There have been some nice updates to the Wikipedia entry for Ron Paul.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul
Here is an excerpt that supports the idea that the widespread online support for Ron Paul is NOT based on spamming:
Despite national polls showing Paul to be the favorite candidate of at most 2% of Republican leaning voters,[40] Paul is getting disproportionately strong support on the Internet. The term "Ron Paul" has been measured as the top Internet search term by Technorati.com[41] since May 9, 2007, which ranks popularity in the blogosphere. The U.S. News & World Report article titled "Ron Paul's Online Rise"[41] states "Technorati spokesman Aaron Krane confirmed that, to the best of the company's knowledge, the online support for Paul is genuine. (Tech-savvy devotees occasionally attempt to enlist programs called "bots" to artificially boost their candidate on search engines, but Krane said Technorati is usually able to detect and delete the cheaters.)"
