i searched saw nothing,if duplicate merge, great story to wipe the drudge crap off with. http://reason.com/ron-paul-revolution/2012/05/15/the-republican-partys-ron-paul-problem
(http://reason.com/ron-paul-revolution/2012/05/15/the-republican-partys-ron-paul-problem) Rep. Ron Paul announced yesterday that he will no longer be actively campaigning in forthcoming primaries. While this announcement (http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/05/14/ron-paul-statement-on-campaign-going-forward/)--as perhaps his team should have figured, especially with its injudicious use of past tense about "fought hard"--was widely played in the media as essentially "Ron Paul drops out", he in fact directly said his quest to rack up as many delegates as he can for the Republican presidential nomination will continue. In fact, the announcement was more or less merely a public declaration of what had been the campaign's style for the past few weeks, featuring few of the smaller public events that make up a full-fledged campaign and more just giant campus rallies. The campaign was indeed likely down to only about a million on hand, and seems ill-inclined right now to do more big calls for cash.
His campaign advisors have had to try to play damage control (http://dougwead.wordpress.com/)--many, though by no means all, Paul fans around the Internet were dispirited (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?376616-Jesse-Benton-Ron-Paul-NOT-Dropping-Out-of-the-Race), especially the ones still wanting to rack up big vote totals in states like Texas and California, just to show the establishment what's what.
But as a further announcement from Paul's campaign website stated (http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/05/14/ron-paul-has-not-suspended-his-campaign/), "Asked if this is a dropout, Paul’s campaign manager Jesse Benton said ‘Absolutely not! We are focusing our efforts squarely on winning delegates and party leadership positions at state conventions.” more here, http://reason.com/ron-paul-revolution/2012/05/15/the-republican-partys-ron-paul-problem
