Bold prediction, being as how that's exactly what he says in the article.
What do you foresee for the direction from which the sun will rise tomorrow, Carnac?

An announcement from Rep. Ron Paul indicates that the Republican presidential candidate will no longer actively campaign for the GOP nomination, but will continue to work to secure delegates at upcoming Republican state conventions.
"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted," said Paul, in a statement released Monday afternoon. "Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have."

May it be his last...
It was his third try, so he has struck out and time to retire and smell the coffee perking...
The guy did nothing in Congress and approaching 80 years old it is time to spend with family..
glad to see him OUT.
In other news, the sun rises in the east...
No...sorry
;)
BUMP!
The two main points of Ron Paul’s Primary Campaign are as follows: 1.) FORCE THE GOP Elite TO HAVE AN OPEN CONVENTION; 2.) Allow the Delegates to vote for a dark horse who did not run in the Primary, such as Col. West of Florida.
___________
If Paul’s plan to cut 1 TRILLION dollars in year-to-year Federal spending, AND abolish 5 Federal Departments are the main reasons for Iowa Delegates to thaw out their opposition to Paul, then it might later be said that “as Iowa goes, so goes the Nation.”
BTW, “T” is for Texas, Tampa and those of us who are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY!”
_____________
Here are some more reasons to vote for Ron Paul in the remaining Primary elections:
1.) It will drive the Liberal Agenda Media (LAM) and their Rove-style political consultants NUTS!
2.) It will deny statistical support to Romney.
3.) It could result in an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
4.) It would irritate the snot out of the GOP-E.
5.) It will put the GOP-E on notice that we think that their RINO Party has done NOTHING since we sent 89 TEA Party men and women to the US Congress in 2010.
6.) An OPEN Convention is our ONLY chance of a successful DUMP ROMNEY campaign.
7.) A superb, true “Dark Horse” Republican Nominee needs an OPEN Convention to replace Romney.
BTW, did I mention the sheer joy of watching the GOP-Endorsers publicly eating crow?

What the Liberal Agenda Media has never figured out, is that the 2012 National Election will be the last National Election where Campaign topics other than the National Debt will be debated again.
IOW, when the grim reaper of financial reality forces Federal Politicians in “both” parties to pay the US Bond owners before payments to our Entitlement recipients, it will terminate discussion on the main topics that we chatter about so far in 2012.
This National election is all about the money, your grandchildren’s descendant’s money.
Ron Paul is to old and to disliked as being different from what most voters picture a US President to look and sound like to win the Nomination.
HOWEVER, Ron Paul as an Anbody-but-Romney candidate in Tampa is our last, best chance to have an OPEN Convention in Tampa, and for that alone he deserves our Primary voter support.
Paul has soldiered on through this entire Primary Campaign. Let us help him establish a beachhead on the Shores of Tampa!
A “Dump Romney” action requires an OPEN Convention.
For those who object to Paul as a Nominee, then treat him as a tired old political soldier who will, with our help, win the Battle to achieve an OPEN Convention in Tampa.
THEN the delegates can win the War, and choose the best Nominee to solve our National Debt Problem.
Remember, this election is all about the money, your grandchildren’s descendant’s money - - - - .
What is the best way that you can use your Primary vote to help the financial future of YOUR descendants?
Hey Mittens, I'm going to vote for you only because I think you don't have the cojones to work for a further socialist agenda, mainly because I believe the House is going to maintain its majority and the Senate will go Pubbie. Try vetoing their legislation to cut back on economics, defense, and international diplomacy and see how bad your re-election will go!
I don't want to see that dipshit anywhere near the WH.
However, Bolton as Secretary of State would be a good start.
While I don't trust Mittens, I believe it my duty to vote and will vote against the marxist, bambi. My only hope is that conservatives keep control of the House and vote in a new leader (Boehner must go) and that anyone other than Dims get the Senate.
I simply don't see Mittens fighting a House/Senate for his liberal ideals. He's caves too often - that could be a good thing.
Alaska and Texas?
I don't believe Paul to be a RINO, but I agree that he should not be CIC. He is too isolationist for me, even though I think it's time to pull troops out of Germany and many other places. While I agree to pull up the drawbridge somewhat and stop being world policemen, we still need to project military strength, something he opposes.
Paul reminds me of hippies back in the Viet-Nam days.
I agree and will be doing the same thing. BZ.
Like many others, I’ve believed that Paul’s purpose in the race became (long ago) the role of attack dog for Romney in the nationally televised debates. Now that the debates are over and all that remains is a convention show, there is no longer a point to his campaign.
Mission accomplished.
You Rummyphiles make me laugh; that’s good, it means you’re not completely worthless.
.
In Indiana’a primary I voted Ron Paul for the reasons you mention.
I don’t trust or like Romney one iota.
Since all the others had suspended campaigns,Paul was the recipient of my protest vote.
Just as in the previous Senate elections I voted for the Libertarian to protest Lugar ,and to deny Lugar the mantle of universal approval.And finally given the chance voted Lugar out in this primary.
THANK YOU!
My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!
This can be accomplished by choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.
The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.
There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.
Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.
For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.
I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
So why does he continue to work at state conventions to win national delegates?
You can vote against the (other) Marxist without voting for Mittens.
I can see a House/Senate not fighting against his liberal ideals - as they didn't when Bush II pushed the largest Medicare expansion in history.

So basically, you've got nothing. As usual. Ron Paul never had a chance to stop Romney or anyone else.
