Free-Market Analysis: Has libertarian Congressman Ron Paul really dropped out of the GOP race? Is it really the end?

Seems hard to think so. But the media will have its day. There's no way not to say, "I won't compete," and thus for a goodly time the bought-and-paid for mainstream media shall bray that Ron Paul is "out."

This would seem to be a winning strategy, in that the GOP is reacting in aggregate like a scalded cat.
