I think this may just be a matter of customizing paragraph-start.  This
seems to work for me:

(setq paragraph-start
      (concat paragraph-start "\\|[-]"))

Besides - (dash), other potential bullet characters are:

• \u2022 (bullet)
‣ \u2023 (triangular bullet)
* (asterisk)
. (period)
o (lowercase letter o)

according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_(typography)
