John Dean Finds Ron Paul "not quite as frightening."

Former Watergate conspirator John Dean is generally a down-the-line Democratic Party apologist but occasionally he surprises, most notably by penning a favorable biography of Warren G. Harding. Now, he gives some faint, but still welcome, praise for Ron Paul.

Dean states that while he is"very concerned about the current attitude in the Republican party...there are candidates on the Republican side who are not quite as frightening as Giuliani." When asked who these were, he specified"Ron Paul."
