According to the Victoria Advocate, a newspaper in his congressional district, “Ron Paul says not so fast. Despite reports indicating otherwise, the Texas Republican is not ending his long-shot campaign for presidency, Paul’s top spokesman said Friday.
“’Dropping out is not accurate,’ said Jesse Benton, Paul’s presidential campaign spokesman, by phone…. Paul plans to use his leftover campaign money, grassroots popularity and energetic support to shape the national debate and further spread his message, Benton said…. ‘We’re winding down the campaign, but he’s still very encouraging of grassroots support around the country in moving forward,’ Benton said. ‘The presidential campaign will be the vehicle.’” (Thanks to Kent Van Cleve.)
