A clarification is in order

I actually have had a couple e-mails regarding the subject, so I'll revisit the Wayne Gilchrest/Ron Paul flap briefly.

I just checked with both the Ron Paul for President and Ron Paul for Congress websites and found no mention of the an endorsement there. Meanwhile, the Gilchrest for Congress site is down for some reason this evening. (Someone will blame it on Andy Harris or the Club For Growth, I'm sure.) So no confirmation from there.

This morning prior to my radio appearance I did get the opportunity to listen once again to that portion of the interview last Thursday and after talking about the endorsements from President Bush, Newt Gingrich, and Michael Steele, Wayne indeed added that he had Ron Paul's endorsement.

Since both are Congressmen and they do share a somewhat common view on the Iraq situation, it would not surprise me that Ron Paul did endorse Wayne. While there have been situations where Gilchrest claimed endorsements he didn't get, I believe this one is legitimate.
