Paul participated in several 2008 GOP debates, the majority of which he won according to the sponsors' own online or text-message phone polls. After the first debate, ABC News noted that Paul has a "robust online presence." "TIME" magazine labels Paul "the new 2.0 candidate" in reference to "his success recruiting supporters through new social media channels". "The New York Times" wrote that his campaign "snowballed on the Internet". According to KDPaine and Partners, Paul's YouTube videos made up half of the top ten of all candidate videos, and he had the largest overall viewership of any candidate.
