Ron Paul hints he's quitting race (Wizbang Politics)

That coming from a video at the candidate's website. From AP-

WASHINGTON - GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul is hinting to supporters that he is ending his long-shot campaign for the presidency.
The Texas Republican congressman addressed supporters in a 7 1/2-minute video on his campaign Web site Thursday night and did not specifically say he was quitting the race.

He said that although victory in the conventional political sense is not available in the presidential race, many victories have been achieved due to the hard work and enthusiasm of his supporters.

He said that he hoped that one day he and his supporters could look back and say his campaign was a significant first step that signaled a change in direction for the country.

Paul said their job now was to plan for the next phase of their effort.

I guess we have to look forward to another Paul run in 2012 then. He at least supplies a lot of blogging material. Go Ron Go!(Cue the sarcastic laughter)

Where will they keep the blimp in the interval?

He just won renomination to his House seat, and the date is soon approaching by which he must decide absolutely whether or not to run for reelection. He just decided to keep the day job.
