First, he told Blitz that he can't endorse McCain.
Then, Blitz asked him which one he prefers, of the 2 Demos. RP said that he picks Obama because he's slightly better which is EXACTLY what I've been saying for quite a while.
No, it's funny as hell to watch you folks grovel for RP votes.
Ron Paul is to Obama as Iraq is to 9/11. If you repeat it enough times, no matter how unrelated they are, in the same sentence then soon people will draw a connection between the two.

that's the objective here
The fact is that Ron Paul did express a preference for Obama. It happened and it is documented. I am personally not surprised that he prefers Obama, given the reality of Hillary and McCain bidding for the same job but I do find it surprising and refreshing that he actually publicly stated his preference while he is still, in theory, still running for the same position. This is quite unprecedented.
Can anyone name ANY other presidential candidate expressing a preference for another candidate FROM ANOTHER PARTY while he was still in the running? I don't believe that it ever happened but... maybe I am wrong.
Given the circumstances - Ron Paul technically running against Obama - his expressing a preference for Obama should be viewed as an implicit endorsement of Obama. That's how I interpret it.

And also think of the reason why he did it: the war issue.
Some people here may think that the war issue does not matter, because -- they think -- no president can change things. It would appear Ron Paul does not agree with that.
The fact is that Ron Paul did express a preference for Obama.
"even Barack Obama has VOTED to support the war and the spending...you have to give McCain some credit...at least he's honest about it....it would be a tough choice because i see them all as about the same.....i would think the one most likely to keep us from expanding the wars is obama, but that doesn't mean it's an endorsement because he'd spend the money somewhere else but his voting record isn't all that great, but you asked me the question and i would say he might be slightly better on the foreign policy..." ~Ron Paul
i don't interpret that as expressing a preference.
