  1. Good God Folks!

    He has the numbers to get into convention. He has the name. Why spend money on primarys that do not matter? Now is the time to look towards the end game.

    He is not OUT! and the head line makes one think!

  2. misleading. Ron Paul is not out of the race, he's not campaigning for the beauty contest, but is still pursuing the delegate strategy.

  3. That is NOT what Ron Paul said! Stop misrepresenting in your reporting. Go to his website and you'll see that there is no mention of his throwing in the towel or conceding to the criminal, Romney! I and millions more will never concede to or vote for Mitt Romney!!!
    Ron Paul is still working on getting more delegates of which he has many more of than what's being reported! Your publication has just lost a huge amount of credibility with a huge group of voters!!!

  6. Gary and Steve. I am MUCH dismayed by the language you chose to make your headline to this "report". I copy the article to which you refer in its entirety below AND NO WHERE IN IT do I see ANY language from which you might infer either of the two PURE PROPAGANDA remarks in your headline! Are you now Dan Rather wanabes? NEITHER of your statements IS TRUE! Ron Paul is not out (except he IS running out of money and has to spend what's left of it diligently). WHERE do you get the notion that
    Ron Paul "HAS CONCEDED THE NOMINATION TO ROMNEY"? NONE of THOSE WORDS APPEAR IN YOUR REFERENCE ARTICLE (BELOW)


    Paul won't campaign in new states

    In a statement just out from Ron Paul's campaign, the Texas congressman announces that while he'll continue to try and accumulate delegates at state conventions, he won't be mounting a serious effort in upcoming primaries:


    We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.

    Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.

    I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved — become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions. I will be right there with you. In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.

    Paul's campaign has spent money to air television ads in his home state of Texas, which votes at the end of May, and that effort has apparently come to an end. It's an original way of announcing that a presidential campaign is over, but that's what the statement amounts to.

  8. Memorandum


    To: Supporters, Interested Parties

    From: Jesse Benton, Chief Strategist

    Re: Paul Campaign Convention Strategy

    Every day, I see firsthand how humbled and encouraged Dr. Paul is to have the enthusiastic support of so many who are committed to revitalizing our country.

    Let me be very clear. Dr. Paul is NOT dropping out or suspending his campaign.

    As Dr. Paul has previously stated, he is in this race all the way to the Republican National Convention in Tampa this August.

    And he is deeply grateful for every resource he has been entrusted with to run an historic campaign that continues to defy all expectations.

    Looking ahead, our campaign must honor that trust by maximizing our resources to ensure the greatest possible impact at the National Convention.

    So while our campaign is no longer investing in the remaining primary states, we will continue to run strong programs at District and State Conventions to win more delegates and alternate delegates to the National Convention.

    To this end, our campaign has several positive and realistic goals:


    1) Having recently WON Maine, we believe we can win several more states.
    2) We will win party leadership positions at both the state and national levels.
    3) We will continue to grow our already substantial total of delegates.


    We will head to Tampa with a solid group of delegates. Several hundred will be bound to Dr. Paul, and several hundred more, although bound to Governor Romney or other candidates, will be Ron Paul supporters.

    All delegates will be able to vote on party rules and allow us to shape the process for future liberty candidates.

    We are in an excellent position to make sure the Republican Party adds solid liberty issues to the GOP Platform, which our delegates will be directly positioned to approve. Our campaign is presently working to get several items up for consideration, including monetary policy reform, prohibitions on indefinite detention, and Internet freedom.

    Finally, by sending a large, respectful, and professional delegation to Tampa, we will show the party and the country that not only is our movement growing and here to stay, but that the future belongs to us.

    Dr. Paul will begin this new phase of the campaign this Friday by speaking and holding several events at the Minnesota State Convention. He has also recently accepted an invitation to speak at the Texas Convention, and we are busy scheduling appearances around other State Conventions later this month and into June.

    As Dr. Paul stated in his message yesterday, this fight is NOT over. We will continue fighting and expanding, and “we will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.”

    But for Dr. Paul’s efforts in the remaining State Conventions to be successful, and to ensure we get as many Ron Paul delegates to Tampa as we can, he needs you to continue standing with him.

    Along those lines, as you probably already know, the grassroots are holding a Money Bomb on Thursday, May 17. Any money raised from that Money Bomb will go toward winning delegates and finalizing our plans for Tampa.

    As those plans for the National Convention come together, we will make sure all of our delegates, whether bound or unbound, get the information and aid they need.

    Your support on May 17 will also help us reach more Americans with the solutions we know can restore our nation. Each person we add to our cause strengthens our movement for the critical work that awaits us beyond Tampa.

    Dr. Paul, John Tate, myself, and the entire campaign staff know what incredible sacrifices have been made by each of our supporters.

    Thank you for all of your hard work and your dedication to liberty. Together, we will champion Ron Paul and his message in Tampa, and we will lay the groundwork for future victories.
