Rep. Ron Paul To Retire From House

Rep. Ron Paul says he's not going to run for reelection to his U.S. House seat as he pursues the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

"Paul's decision marks somewhat an end of an era for the congressman, who's been elected to a combined 12 terms in Congress. During that time, he's been an obstinate voice for the more libertarian wing of the GOP, showing a willingness to break with his party on certain issues, especially foreign policy."
