But Does Bunce Actually Have Ron Paul’s Endorsement?

For our other website, Campaign Emails, we had set up a specific email address to receive each presidential candidates’ mailings. And while there have been almost 1,500 since we started late last summer, an unusual one popped up in our inbox Memorial Day.

With a subject reading “Nevada’s Ron Paul Congressional Candidates” our initial reaction was that the Texas congressman had officially endorsed someone in the Silver State. However, the actually mailer wasn’t from the Paul campaign but from CD-3 Republican candidate Carl Bunce.

Although the email uses key Paul lingo, “I am very lucky to be part of the team that is helping to continue the Revolution here in Nevada! I am proud to say that we have sound Constitutional candidates running in each of Nevada’s three Congressional Districts,” nowhere does the letter or Bunce’s website actually include an endorsement from Paul. In fact, we were hard-pressed to find Paul’s name on the site.

So I guess the question is, does giving/renting your presidential email list to specific candidates constitute an endorsement?
