Romney has acknowledged that the internet is going to play an extremely important role in the upcoming primaries. The press has jumped on this and reported about the effort by Romney to reach the masses through the online world.
Capitol Hill Blue recently featured an article about Romney and his presence on facebook.com. The Romney team says that connecting the younger community with candidates and issues is vital in getting out the message and encouraging the younger generation to vote. When asked about the internet's impact, Romney's communications director said, "There's your literally door-to-door community outreach." http://www.capitolhillblue.com/wp/2007/02/10/2058
The Boston Globe also wrote an article about Romney's effort to connect with conservative bloggers. Romney weighed in on establishing a good internet base, "you want to be very closely conncected to the online world, to the blog world, and make sure your perspectives are being understood, and that the misperceptions, which inevitably creep up, are being nipped in the bud." Romney also said that he gets most of his news today online and said that this media is "a great force for the democratization of information." http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/12/31/romney_connecting_quickly_with_bloggers/

This is very true. The internet is very important, and can be seen by the way it has helped Ron Paul, and in the past Howard Dean int he 04 election. I wish him the best of luck.
