It doesn't sound like Paul to just 'drop out'. It sounds like there is much more to this story!!! Don't make sense!

He didn't drop out, the campaign is simply putting the resources we have to better use. There is no need to spend millions on advertising when the real battle is at the conventions, that is what counts. He will be speaking at the Minnesota convention on Friday

Paul can't continue to get trounced in the primary vote and pretend that he's gaining on Romney.  
Paul may make the nomination messy for the other Republicans involved, but he can't change the outcome.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

May 13, 2011 Ron Paul announced his candidacy... planted his seedlings.  Today, over a year later
still the same 9-13%... right where he began.

Where and how do you come up with these numbers?  When matched up against Obama he polls in the 40% range.  People support the choices put in front of them.  The choices put in front of them are selected by a very small minority controlling the political party apparatus.  Ron Paul  is taking over the political party apparatus state by state.  This is a generational shift. As the Constitutionalist start winning statewide elected offices, there will be the political will for individual states to nullify unconstitutional federal law.  

When fighting the power of the totalitarian federal government, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Where do I come up with these numbers?  From Ron Paul.

Ron Paul admits he cannot win the presidential nomination:

Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) has conceded that he cannot win the presidential nomination, but he is not
dropping out of the race, his campaign announced Tuesday morning.
The announcement, following on the heels of Paul’s decision to stop campaigning in future primaries
and caucuses, seems designed in part to lower the expectations of supporters going into the convention.
“Unfortunately, barring something very unforeseen, our delegate total will not be strong enough to win
the nomination,”
campaign chairman Jesse Benton wrote in a strategy memo. “However, our delegates
can still make a major impact at the National Convention and beyond.”

I read it, can you make bold the 9%-13%?  You may have left it out of your original copy and paste.

Delegates:
Romney-989
Santorum-265
Gingrich-130
Paul-106
Huntsman-1
With two candidates having dropped out of the race Paul is still 4th in a 5 man delegate count.

When Ron Paul started running for President over a year ago, polls had him at 9 to 13%.
Today after all the debates and Ron Paul managed to get almost 11% of the votes.
(Not much change)
Out of a total of over 14 million votes cast in the Republican Primary...
RON PAUL HAS AROUND 10.9%, or 1.5 million votes.

Glad to see you put the disclaimer "in a 5 man delegate count."(An inaccurate delegate count at that). You should have added 'within 1 political party', and then 'of states that held their party primary to date'.  You also left out that there were 8 candidates splitting the votes and delegates early on the process.  

So, ultimately your numbers are worth sh*t.
