'BunnyRanch' Brothel Owner Endorses Underdog GOP Candidate Ron Paul
Monday, November 26, 2007

RENO, Nevada — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner.

Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, says he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.

Hof and two of his prostitutes, Brooke Taylor and a woman who goes by Air Force Amy, attended a Paul news conference.

The women say they liked Paul's message, but wanted to learn more about other candidates before making a decision.

Paul spokesman Jeff Greenspan say while Paul does not personally condone prostitution, the candidate does not think it's the role of the federal government to regulate such activity.

Greenspan says Paul is a diehard supporter of states rights who recognizes that Nevada voters and lawmakers have decided prostitution should be legal in the state.

Paul also is a devout Christian who opposes abortion.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

So a political candidate, Ron Paul, is going to get some help doing to the voters what most pols manage to do on their own.

On another note, Ron Paul may be the current underdog but I'm sure the brothel owner will help put him back on top.

It's so funny how obviously foxnews is going after ron paul. at least the AP poll headline suggested more objective reporting. This headline is so damn transparent that i'm not sure why more people haven't seen the pure bull@!$%# that is foxnews. They would have been better off waiting with this channel until we make the transition to communism. Jumped the gun a little.

Seriously, why does the media feel like they have to sabotage our country's political system. Is who this guy votes for really news or are you trying to send the message the only teenagers and pimps vote for Ron Paul? Why don't you let the people decide who the president is? America very badly needs a leader that has true basis behind his actions, not just a rich man in suit who appeals to the special interests of 30% of the voters. The media is the only thing holding together this two party system that paralyzes congress and our country.
