Reply #98: The spin - not surprising coming from the Plain Dealer -

[RaleighNCDUer]

was not an accurate reflection of the sound clip.

The audience was responding to Dennis' sense of humor. Their reaction to him saying he was "thinking about" Ron Paul (general laughter) was almost identical to their reaction to him, further in, saying that, while they both opposed the war against the overwhelming sentiment of their respective parties, they did have serious disagreements on domestic issues (general laughter).

He respects Paul's independence from the republican party line, and his integrity in saying what he thinks, but he knows full well that Paul would never support his universal health care, for one, and as that is a cornerstone of his campaign he could never bring Paul on as his VP.

All you have to do is really listen to the answer, and understand what he is saying.
