Ron Paul To Drop Out of Presidential Campaign?
Ron Paul has officially dropped out of the Republican race for President. Actually, I suspect he's been trying to drop out since Tuesday evening, but this is the first he's been able to get a reporter, any reporter, to take his calls. If any of the press had ever paid any attention to Representative Paul, maybe he would have run more of a race. One thing is likely: Given his prodigious (and effortless) fundraising, a candidate from the libertarian wing of the Republicans is dead certain to run in the next open Presidential race.
CORRECTION: Ron Paul is only "hinting" he'll drop out of the Presidential race. What he's waiting for at this point isn't entirely clear. John McCain has already locked up the Republican nomination. Perhaps Rep. Paul is just carrying on running for President of the United States until he can find another country he's eligible to run for President of. Or maybe, just maybe, he's having a hard time getting used to the idea of going back to being an obscure Congressman than no one pays any attention to after the glory days of a campaign season where he was an obscure Presidential candidate who no one paid any attention to.
