RON PAUL OUT – Will Not Compete in Remaining States
The doctor is out.
A day after his lackeys booed Josh Romney off the stage in Arizona, Rep. Ron Paul announced that he will not compete in any remaining states in the GOP primary.
The Washington Times reported:
Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said Monday he will not compete in primaries in any of the states that have not yet voted — essentially confirming Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Paul said he will continue to work to win delegates in states that have already voted and where the process of delegate-selection is playing out. He said that’s a way to make his voice heard at the Republican nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.
“Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted,” Mr. Paul said. “Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have.”
He did encourage his supporters to still turn out and vote.
His decision not to compete for new votes in other states leaves Mr. Romney as the only candidate still actively fighting for voters’ support in the 11 states still to vote. That list includes the biggest prizes on the board — Texas and California.
The Ron Paul website has not posted the news.
Of course, the Ron Paulians have already disputed this breaking news.
