RON PAUL

Ron Paul appealed to minorities at the Fox News debate last night, just one day after a scathing report in the New Republic exposed racist newsletters published under Ron Paul's name in the late 80's and early 90's. One such newsletter stated that order was restored to Los Angeles after the 1992 riots when blacks went "to pick up their welfare checks."

His message at the debate seemed catered to fend off criticism that he is a racist. It was definitely an interesting strategy, let's see if his new message resonated with minority voters. Check out his responses to several of the moderators' questions.
