I've been visiting this site for approx. 6 months now keeping an eye on what has been said, and the online support for the candidates. I have an issue with one of your points.

"and six points ahead of Ron Paul, who finished fifth, proving that his fanatical online support has yet to move offline."

I think that statement on Ron Paul appears on the surface to be correct, but is fundamentally flawed. Ron Paul has been consistently polling at 2% or less across the country. He campaigned in Iowa for only 1 week, and got nearly 10% of the vote. Several of the other 2nd tier candidates spent so much time and money in Iowa just to win this straw poll that their campaigns have been nearly crippled by their lack of money. I think this poll was a very positive thing for the Ron Paul campaign as it showed he doesn't need to spend a huge amount of money or time to gain a fairly large group of support. He also is sitting fine financially for the rest of the campaign as it heats up more.
