As far as they are concerned he left the race - this being another instance when the Media decides for the people. Now it is all John McCain and Paul who? There are no chances for Paul other than a 3rd Party run. Even Raimondo is talking about Bzerzhinsky's puppet Obama as a great hope. The Mainstream Media has already forgotten he existed!
