Ron Paul Effectively Ending Presidential Campaign

New submitter Dainsanefh sends this quote from the LA Times: "Ron Paul, Mitt Romney's lone remaining rival for the Republican presidential nomination, announced Monday that he would stop spending money on the party's 11 remaining primaries, in effect suspending his campaign. ... Apart from President Obama and Romney, Paul has raised more money than any other White House contender this year – more than $36 million. His calls for strict adherence to the Constitution and his no-nonsense manner have spawned a vocal and well organized group of followers, but not enough to give him a realistic shot at the presidency."

He is no longer seeking primary votes, and is instead focusing 100% on taking delegate positions. This race is not over.

FYI Romney has more delegates than the rest of them combined and with everyone else giving up their campaign there's no way he'll lose the majority he already has. Even if Ron got 100% of Santorum's and Gingrich's delegates behind him, which I find unlikely given how wildly different the candidates are it still wouldn't be close to enough. But reality never much seemed to bother Ron or his followers...
