BREAKING: Ron Paul to end active campaigning
CNN ^

Posted on 05/14/2012 12:02:59 PM PDT by mnehring

An announcement from Rep. Ron Paul indicates that the Republican presidential candidate will no longer actively campaign for the GOP nomination, but will continue to work to secure delegates at upcoming Republican state conventions.

"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted," said Paul, in a statement released Monday afternoon. "Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."

LOL. The paulbots will refuse to accept this and continue to believe they are winning. If only they can just be a little more annoying at the remaining state conventions. Then there are the other delusion folks who still can’t accept Romney is the nominee and were holding out hope Paul could stop him. The fantasy is over folks, all the candidates are gone accept Willard.

Not that Paul was a factor, but I’m pissed at the primary system that denies Texas a voice.

What’s the news on Buddy Roemer? Maybe he can prevent a Romination.

So Paul did Not drop out, he has just stopped campaigning like Gingrich and Santorum - isn’t that correct? I guess that means donations can still flood in.
I have always wondered why Paul has not trashed Romney in the same way he trashed Gingrich and Santorum. Wonder if that VP spot is still open.

Nobody had Romney’s money.

Newt was right all along.

Romney would buy the presidency if he could.

Let’s see if he can.

I still wouldn't be surprised if he starts to push for a Rand VP spot.

Right. Remember those rumors about Rand Paul for VP?

Also Ron Paul for Secretary of Treasury.
