Your glorious Loose Change Forum dictator...
He hinted at it in his latest email:

Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans -- and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.

Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a Republican.

I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that happen.

In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons, the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be hearing much from you and me.

Sincerely,

Ron


Seems like he's gonna focus more on re-election for Congress. :unsure:

Certainly no shame in withdrawing if that's what he chooses. He gave it a noble try against against insurmountable odds...party politics, an indifferent if not ignoring media, and an American public that could not, would not, or did not listen to his message. If any member of Congress does deserve to keep his seat, it is Ron Paul.

He wont drop out untill the end, he still has a chance to spread his views and the importance, even if he dosnt get elected (which is obvious now :( ) he still did achieve alot, and he can achieve alot more by staying involved. He'll keep goin untill the convention most likely.

Yep, Ron Paul is gonna end it real soon. He only has 14 delegates, and he wont run as a third party candidate. The days of the Ron Paul presidential campaign are coming to a close.
