Paul rejects McCain's plea for endorsement
By SUZANNE GAMBOA – 51 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ron Paul says he rejected John McCain's appeal for his endorsement.


At a news conference Wednesday, Paul said he received a surprise call from McCain's campaign on Tuesday asking for his endorsement. Paul turned them down.


Paul said: "The idea was that he would do less harm than the other candidate."
Paul won no primaries in the Republican nomination contest but developed a strong following on the Internet. He appeared at a news conference with third-party candidates, including Ralph Nader and former Georgia Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney. Paul suggested backing the non-major party candidates.

How surprising they left off Baldwin. I guess it is obvious to the MSM who RP supports secretly.

ALl comes down to: McCain needs the true intelligent republicans and independent vote.

ALL the polls are BS... hell there's even more independents and democratic registered voters then republicans. Obama in an landslide over McLobbyist.

McGimmick is at it in his speeched... It's "My Friends" again with a VETO pen in his hand, per his new campaign sling to callout EARMARKS and PORK BARREL.

Snore... :rolleyes:

Notice no mention of chuck baldwin. The powers that be do not want people to know about this man.

I think this AP report excites me more than the press conference.

I could have sworn that little--very little--of the reason for that press conference was John McCain.

Spin it people!

He just gave McCain the finger.

That's why he's my hero.

I hope every news station plays it just that way. RP gives the finger to McCain. That man makes my skin crawl.
