Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Tuesday that he won’t seek reelection in 2012.
Paul posted to his official Twitter account a message had he had “decided not to seek re-election to Congress,” along with a link to a website, The Facts, in which he explained his decision.
“I felt it was better that I concentrate on one election,” Paul told the Texas news outlet. “It’s about that time when I should change tactics.”

Hip Hip Hooray.
Looks like he’s gonna go for another split vote, when we least need one, ’cause he ain’t NEVER gonna get the GOP nomination! Whatta patriot. =>[.]<=
If Paul, or some other small government Repugnicon doesn’t win the nomination, betcherass I’ll bolt for a third party. McCain cost you my vote in ’08. Romney will cost you my vote in ’12.
Betcherass if ya do, Obama will thank you. =’[.]‘=
Actually, he should thank you – or those who get Romney the nomination. I’m one of those independents you Repugnicons are trying to attract. I’m not remotely interested in Obama Lite.
