Ron Paul to end campaign outside Texas convention

06/12/2008

By JIM VERTUNO  / Associated Press

Maverick Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul will end his campaign Thursday night in a speech near the Texas Republican convention and start a new effort to elect libertarian-leaning Republicans to offices around the country.

Campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said the announcement was "not a disappointment at all. I think this is really exciting."

A announcement at the state GOP meeting in Houston to end the campaign will be a formality, considering Paul won few delegates during the Republican primaries. But he raised large amounts of money online and developed a huge grassroots following.

I wonder if the Ronbots are still banking on that big "write-in victory in November"?

This may be a stupid question. What happens to all of the money collected for his campaign now?  After all of the bills are paid, where does it go?

He can dump it all into his campaign fund for his re-election to his Congressional Seat.

I said awhile back near the start of Paul's Campaign that he had little to no chance of making it and he had to know that. The campaign was just a vehicle to fleece folks of their money & pad his retirement fund. All or most that money he collectted running for president can be legally transferred to His House re- election fund . When he retires that money goes with him.

Yes.  She's running for elected office.

This.  Frightens.  Me.  Badly.

I don't even know whether to laugh or cry.  She admits she voted for Clinton but claims to be a "independent-leaning Republican".

I'm tellin ya, this girl's skin is so thin you could make croissants out of it but she wants to run for public office?

I put the over/under on her nervous breakdown at about a week.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
