Ron Paul Scales Back Campaign

Alex Wong/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Ron Paul’s presidential campaign isn’t over, but it’s grinding to a semi-halt. The candidate announced on Monday that he will no longer actively campaign in new states, even as he continues to pursue his strategy of winning delegates at state conventions.
“Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. 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,” Paul said in a statement released Monday by his campaign.
“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,” Paul said. “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.”
