During Current TV’s “Politically Direct 2012″ Iowa coverage, Cenk Uygur, Al Gore, Jennifer Granholm and members of “The Young Turks” talk about why Ron Paul has been so successful — especially among young voters — despite his controversial newsletters.
“People like somebody who’s got a spine, ” Granholm says. “They want to see somebody willing to say ‘I disagree with you.’”
But Gore still calls out Paul for his lax response to questions about racist statements in his newsletters. He says, “I just think that we’re kidding ourselves.”
