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.
Ron Paul On CNN's Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer Friday, May 2nd, 2008
CNN's Wolf Blitzer had Ron Paul in the Situation Room today via satellite to talk to him about Paul's new book, the Republican and Democratic Parties, why Paul is hasn't dropped out of the presidential race, and more. Blitzer said that Paul's Revolution: A Manifesto is already a huge best-seller. Paul mentioned the voting records of John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama; but when Wolf asked if Ron Paul had to pick one of those three candidates for President, he said "I would think the one who would most likely keep us from expanding the war is probably Obama."
No, it wasn't an endorsement; Paul adds he's shaky about Obama's voting record and where Obama might spend the money instead. And when asked why he hasn't dropped out of the race, Paul responds, "The race is still on."
"A lot of your main ideas are certainly very popular with your base, and you've got thousands, millions of people out there who love your ideas," Blitzer said.
For the third day in a row, The Revolution: A Manifesto is currently number one on Amazon.com's Top 100.
So it boils down to: how did the mainstream media get away with Paul's shortened speaking times at the debates and lack of coverage in the press?? Maybe it's in the book...we're still eagerly awaiting the arrival of ours!
Let's see the transcript but, based on my imperfect recollection, RP called Obama 'slightly better' than Hillary. Not 'less evil'. This is exactly my view. He's a minor positive which is A LOT, when compared to the past few presidents and the 2 monsters he needs to defeat to get the job.
