I thought that it was interesting on his show last week........He said something that made me think that he currently is a supporter of Ron Paul.

He was asked who he liked in the presidential primaries. He mentioned Paul, but he also mentioned Edwards. From what I gathered he is as much likely to support Edwards as he is to support Paul, but IMO he will support neither.

I could understand Ron Paul, but Edwards!? I think Lou might have had a blond moment there

Jean:

Look through the transcripts from his shows from last week-----(Wed through Friday) or was it this week????

Reciprocity:

I definitely do not think that he supports him now------after hearing his position regarding the illegals during tonight's debate.

Well, I think there are elements of both that he likes. Edwards has a lot of populist positions, and Lou is a self described populist. But he definitely wouldn't agree with him on immigration. He probably likes some of Paul's positions on immigration, NAFTA, and constitutional positions, but I think Lou would disagree with Paul in some areas.

I didn't think Lou was excited about any of the candidates (just like most Americans).

He said it on his show, I think a couple days ago......Let me be clear that this WAS NOT an endorsement of either candidate. You have to understand the context. Lou was talking about the presidential candidates with his usual panel. He parroted his new theme that he believes an independent will arise and gain popularity with the voters. One of the panelists pressed him on who he likes out of the current candidates. He mentioned Paul from the Republicans, and Edwards from the Democratic side.

Oh my gosh!! Would that be great or WHAT?!

Ok, I see, thank you for clarifying.

I'm actually thinking he might win in by a landslide!!

Would that be something?

I believe he could win

strong denial. No, you are incorrect - he has mentioned Ron Paul on numerous occasions. He would support Ron Paul over Edwards, and you most assuredly know this.
