Ron Paul suspende la "campaña activa" pero seguirá captando delegados

USA Today:

Ron Paul said today he'll stop spending money on GOP presidential primaries, but will still try to obtain delegates for the national convention in Tampa.

In a statement today, the Texas congressman said he will soon outline his strategy for amassing delegates so he can impact change within the Republican Party and go to the convention with a "strong message."

"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that liberty is the way of the future," Paul said.

"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have," he said.

Lo más que puede forzar es lo de Jerry Brown en la convención demócrata de 1992: negociar con el partido y con Boston una posible intervención en la convención. Claro que, a aquella cita, el Gobernador de California llegó con 620 delegados, se negó a apoyar a Clinton, y tuvo sus minutos de gloria; un apasionado discurso que el entonces corresponsal del periódico español ABC describió como "una mezcla de terrorismo intelectual y política ficción que siempre resulta amena."
