"no, I'm serious, ron paul has basically told all his fans, he's leaving (he wants to at least keep his congressional seat) " If you read further, he also said: "Let me tell you my thoughts. With 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. But with so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter." Sure, he's scaling back. There's less states up for grabs now, so it is logical that he would. His statement did not say anywhere that he's leaving or he will quit. He has said himself that as long as people keep supporting him and sending him money, he's still in.
