I've been following this all day, and alot of people have mixed opinions. apparently the mainstream is running this "paul-out" story, when actually all Paul really said was that he's not spending the money.

who knows what's really going on, but it would certainly make sense for him to use his limited amount of money more wisely than tv and radio commercials.

he didn't actually say "I'm suspending my campaign"..

he's still on the ballot in all upcoming states, just not blowing the money on advertising. honestly, I think this late in the game, anyone who's gonna vote for him already has their mind made up.

I must say though... looks like Johnson may just get my vote after all...

He is not out. Ron Paul is focusing his campaign resources on the delegate process instead of the "beauty contests". He already denied Mitt Romneys former Lt. Governor a delegate slot for Massachuetts. Think of this move as similar to what he did with FLORIDA.

Im going to my old college tomorrow to meet up with the Ron Paul campaign to register as a Republican to vote for him in Cali.

+1  Ron Paul will always get my vote if on the ballot, if not, Gary Johnson will get it.

Have a sinking feeling that RP is going to sell-out his supporters any day now. No hard facts, just a feeling I have.

What do you mean by "selling out?"  Furthermore, how do you imagine he will do that?  Just asking, for the sake of proving you're correct later to people.  I'm not doubting he might at all.  After all, he is a politician.

'Selling out' in that he'll endorse Mittens and fall in line with the rest of GOP, instead of forging out and getting behind Johnson. I know RP and Libertarians have been at odds, but if he is serious about what he believes in, the GOP is the last party he should be part of. If he can get his supporters to get behind Gary Johnson......

Who knows what will happen, I could be very well talking out my ass, as I usually do.  :)

Nah, I'm with you man, DAMN it would make me want to vomit if RP EVER endorses Mittens and falls in line with the GOP.

Johnson 2012 baby!

But it would be very interesting if RP went out there told the world that he got the shit end of the stick and then threw his weight behind Gary Johnson.

Very interesting indeed.

It would be awesome, and in my opinion, it would be the RIGHT thing to do, but then again, I'm a radical like that, and RP is actually way more loyal and polite than I would be, especially, if I were here, at the end of his political career like he is.

Pretty much not happening with RP endorsing Johnson...

I gotta say I'm really getting very po'd with RP. Seems like he's more interested in getting his weirdo son to take over, than actually doing something positive for the country.

If that is true, I agree, its very disappointing.

My comfort with supporting Rand Paul is nowhere near where it is with Ron Paul. Adam Kokesh is accusing Campaign for Liberty of having sellouts and Ron Pauls campaign people have me a lil concerned.
