Ya, Snakes on a Plane had a big internet following. How did that translate into real world box office sales?
I'm not sure. How much did Snakes on a Plane rake in at the box office? I don't care enough to look because I don't see your point. Ron Paul raked in 19.5 million this quarter, more than any of the other candidates I believe. Unlike "Snakes on a Plane", his followers seem to be following through, at least with donations. One can only expect they'll come through with votes too. Will this mean he's going to win anything? I highly doubt it.

If you are referring to the FOX debate, thats a myth.

He has been excluded from the January 6th forum on FOX, and chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party issued a press release calling on them not to limit debate participants.

Also, he gets little attention from the "mainstream media" because he is polling at around 4% in every major scientific survey. He's irrelevant everywhere but MySpace.
He's polling higher than Thompson who was invited to the FOX debate/forum. I don't really understand what is the ultimate poll to source for this since there are so many, so I guess this point is debatable.

Anyway, I don't really give a shit personally. I think his fans are a bit nuts, but it's nice to see a grassroots movement like this. I wish it were backing Kucinich myself.
