He (or someone with the ball) does have to touch the base, unless they changed the rules since I played.
ADDITION BY JEREMY L:
In Little League thru Triple A Baseball the Umpires will not allow the 2nd Basemen to get away with not touching.
However, in the MLB, there is a form of lexi non scripta (unwritten law) in which the umpires will grant leniency to the player if he is in the motion of turning a double play. This started to become commonplace in the 90's and in 2011 it is common accepted practice for the 2nd basemen to merely straddle the bag rather than actually touch it. It discourages the runner from forcing impact into the legs of the basemen.

Making Use Of The Laptop Touch?
When using the Laptop Touch, people tend to use two fingers in order to move and drag windows. Most use their index finger to hold down the left click button, while they use their middle finger in order to move the window however they so please. A great alternative to this is to use the double tap feature. The double tap feature works like this: Instead of using the index finger to hold down the left click button, double tap the touch pad when your mouse is focused on your window. Hold down the second finger tap, and you can now drag the window wherever you please.

You always ideally want to get the ball to your setter on the second hit. That way the setter can push the ball out to one of the hitters in hope of a kill. The setter should be standing at the top right of the court so that they can set both the outside left and the middle. The setter is the person you always want to give the second hit to.

When they get a good pass they should set it either to the outside, middle, behind them, or in the back row if it is not really a good pass.
