“As
Dr. Paul has previously stated, he is in this race all the way to the
Republican National Convention in Tampa this August,” Benton said. The
campaign will, though, be “maximizing our resources” by not investing in
remaining primary states, he said.

Benton’s
statement comes after reports over the past 24 hours characterized the
Texas congressman’s move to curtail his activities in the remaining
primary states as an end to his campaign. (As Eyder reported Monday,
though, the Paul campaign’s “carefully worded statement about its plans
spelled out how it would continue hunting for delegates.)

“We
will,” Benton said today in his statement, “continue to run strong
programs at district and state [party] conventions to win more delegates
and alternate delegates to the national convention.

The
“new phase” of the campaign, he said, will begin Friday at the
Minnesota state GOP convention, where Paul has been invited to speak. He
is also scheduled to appear at the Texas party convention in early
June. The handful of remaining GOP primaries are scheduled to wrap up
June 5, while state and district party conventions are scheduled to end
with Nebraska’s gathering on July 14.

Benton,
in his memo, urged supporters to remain active and continue to donate
to the campaign in an effort to ensure that Paul goes to Tampa with a
“solid group of delegates.”

“We are in
an excellent position to make sure the Republican Party adds solid
liberty issues to the GOP platform,” he said, while acknowledging that
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is within striking distance of
wrapping up the committed delegates he needs to win the nomination.

“Our
delegates,” Benton says, “can still make a major impact at the national
convention and beyond.” Including, he said, using their influence “to
shape the process for future liberty candidates.”

Future
liberty candidates include Paul’s son, Republican Sen. Rand Paul of
Kentucky, who could be a successor to his father on the presidential
trail four years from now.
