Ron Paul in El Paso; Holding Town Hall at UTEP

EL PASO - NBC News is reporting that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is bowing out of the republican presidential race. If that happens, that leaves Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman Ron Paul to duke it out for the GOP nod.

Ron Paul is in the sun city, tonight.

The presidential candidate is visiting UTEP for an hour-long town hall meeting, that starts at 7 p.m.

Ron Paul hasn't won any state contests, but his campaign says he's racking up delegates. He'll need 1,144 delegates to get the nomination, and beat out Mitt Romney.
