Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul won’t spend more money to compete in primary elections, while trying to collect more national convention delegates at state gatherings that could give him a greater voice in the party.

Paul, 76, said in a statement yesterday he won’t officially end his White House bid and will “carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention” in Tampa, Florida, Aug. 27-30. His candidacy has provided a platform for his libertarian views, such as ending most taxes and auditing and dismantling the Federal Reserve.
