There seems to be some confusion in the Debra Medina for governor campaign on the definition of "support."
An earlier version of this story reported that Medina's campaign announced Wednesday that Rep. Ron Paul is backing her. The campaign plugged a letter written by Paul in which he calls Medina a "real defender of liberty."
But I just got a call from Jesse Benton, who said he's media director for Paul's congressional reelection campaign and the political director to Paul's political action committee, Liberty PAC.
He said the letter is not an endorsement for Medina's campaign at all. Paul has not endorsed any candidate for governor, Benton said.
"He is friendly with several candidates, remains neutral in this race and is unlikely to officially endorse anyone," Benton said. "The letter he sent out about Debra Medina was not a letter of endorsement, it was merely a note expressing his friendship and admiration for her activism."

IMHO, Paul’s endorsement would hurt her more than help her.
Yeah, I'm sure Rand Paul and Peter Schiff are thinking exactly the same thing as they rake in the cash.
Exactly
We already know she worked with his campaign.
The lies and take backs these politions do is enough not to vote for them. Just once I wish one would actually tell the truth.
Freepmail me or ping me from the original thread to get on/off the 2010 Texas Governor's Race ping list.
