Anyone notice this about Digg?
First off, I hang out at digg for other reasons besides Ron Paul, and always have. I've never particularly cared about digging Paul news.
Back when there used to be one front page Paul story per day on digg, there were plenty of whiners complaining about how Paul was ruining digg. There were endless idiots shouting "Paul 08" in off topic stories.
Ok, so Paul isn't as popular as he used to be there.
When Paul had one story per day, he was "ruining digg." But, now there are usually 4 out of 10 front page stories praising Obama at any given time of the day. Why isn't Obama ruining digg? I'm pretty sure he's ruining it 3-4 times as much as Paul ever was, not to mention 2 times the negative Hillary stories.
So, where did all of those people go? It's quite odd that they were so offended by real grassroots interest in people like Paul and Gravel, yet they're quite comfortable with media generated interest in Obama. What's going on there?
