Paul/Kucinich and deciphering bullshit stories and sloppy reporting

First off, this comes from a blog.

Blogs tend to get it wrong more often than not and is another vehicle papers use to push storys they are not sure about.

Secondly, whenever you see quotation like this "I'm thinking about Ron Paul" and the writer finished it off like this; as a running mate.

Chances are it's bullshit. Every single time I see this method used, I call bullshit on it, and I'm correct 99% of the time. I have 8 years of picking through bullshit stories about Kerry, Edwards, Franken, Clinton, Moore etc.

Basicly, it's ussually a wise choice to wait for an official announcement from the candidate. If Kucinihc was stronly thinking about it or considering it he would have a piece about it on his website or a semi respectable source would have announced it by now.
