A self-described Ron Paul devotee called in to Norman Goldman's show today.

He was saying how wrong Romney was on several issues. Norman asked him if Obama is making any moves to war on Iran, guy said no. Asked if he thought Romeny would go to war with Iran -- yes!

Then he asked "who do you think is better for our country, Obama or Romney?" And the guy said Obama!

That was pretty interesting.

It was interesting.

I'm a big fan of Norman, and I'd rather listen to him right now than most of whats out there, cept Tom, and maybe Rachael.

when they're only right about two issues.
It may be a good sign that at least one Paulbot would support Obama over Rmoney.

11. Yeah, I think many of those who clung to Ron Paul over war issues will defect to Obama.

13. Cons that I know like Paul only for his hard right economic views, but chafe at his anti-war stance
