In an interview with the New Your Times, Ron Paul says that he was offered a speaking slot at the Republican Nation Convention but that he could not meet the required conditions.
The two conditions were that Paul's speech would be pre-approved by Romney's camp and that he would offer a full endorsement to Mitt Romney.
“It wouldn’t be my speech," Paul said. "That would undo everything I’ve done in the last 30 years. I don’t fully endorse him for president."
Paul's reluctance to give his rival a ringing endorsement should come as little surprise. In May, Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton told reporters that formal backing was unlikely.
"I would never say never," he said. "I do not believe that that is likely."
