NYT: The strongly anti-Iraq-War Ron Paul told CNN just last week that it would “really confuse” his supporters if he endorsed Mr. McCain. In fact, Mr. Paul said, he liked Mr. Obama’s foreign policy more. (Mr. Paul has also been quoted saying he believes Mr. Obama will be the next President — not exactly helpful for his fellow Republican. Mr. Paul’s vote of confidence may not be that much of a boon to Mr. Obama either.)

Does Ron Paul have a tell?

This is a little wacky, but I don’t feel too bad since I’m talking about Ron Paul.

Check out this video of Paul discussing his racist newsletters with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. At about 2:30, when paul is making the claim that he has no idea who wrote the newsletters, he repeatedly looks to his right, the viewer’s left. According to the Internets, that particular eye movement denotes lying.

But who knows? Maybe he was distracted by something off-screen, like some shining gold bullion or whatnot.

Is Ron Paul a closet racist? Jamie Kirchick writes in The New Republic that a reading of Paul’s old newsletters suggest yes.

RonPaulBlimp.com - Seriously. “We must receive $200,000 in sponsorships by midnight on Friday for the blimp to be in Boston by December 15th!!! Please sponsor the Ron Paul Blimp Tour now!” It gets better: “Imagine.. the mainstream media is mesmerized as the image of the Ron Paul blimp is shown to tens of millions of Americans throughout the day (and throughout the month).” I’m already mesmerized. Update: Brad Smith, former FEC commissioner and a Romney adviser, is on the Ron Paul Blimp legal defense team. According to Politico: “Smith is among the leading opponents of campaign finance laws, and the blimp plan offers common cause on that front with Paul’s anti-regulation supporters, as well as an opportunity to set potentially far-reaching FEC precedent.”
