Say It Ain't So Ron Paul!

Ron Paul has once again said he won't mount an third-party candidacy even while acknowledging that his prospects for winning the Republican nomination are nearly non-existent. In a message to supporters on his campaign Web site today, Paul wrote, "with [Mitt] Romney gone, the chances of a brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get."

The Texas congressman said he is cutting his national campaign staff and noted that he is also concentrating on holding onto his House seat, according to the AP. Paul faces a primary challenge. "If I were to lose the primary for my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and pretend it was a rejection of our ideas," Paul wrote. "I cannot and will not let that happen." Texas holds its primary contests for the presidential race and House races on March 4th.
