Paul to Focus on White House, not U.S. House

[Col Hogan]

Representative Ron Paul announced today that he will not seek reelection to the House seat he has held for 24 years to put all his energy into a run for the White House...

I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election," Paul told The Facts, a news service covering Brazoria County, Texas, a portion of which Paul represents. "It's about that time when I should change tactics."

Paul, 75, has run for the presidency three times, and cultivated a substantial following in the 2008 primary race running on the themes of limited government and less federal spending as well as personal liberties and a limited role in international conflicts.

The race for his House seat is considered a wide-open one with no favorite at this time...

So after he inevitably fizzles out in the presidential primaries, we won't have Ron Paul to kick around any more. Except maybe on this board!
