Where did he go? I haven't seem him in the news lately. No more debates. Has he conceded the GOP nomination? Are they quitting?

He hasn't gone anywhere. After super tuesday his demented fans finally got slapped back into reality that theres no chance he can win. I find it funny how quickly they dropped their support without looking back. You'll even notice that people like Capitalizt don't hang around PDD anymore. Now without any public backing its business as usual and the networks don't report his (non-existent) progress.

He nabbed the money from his fundraising bombs and put it in his offshore bank account.
That and he may lose his Congressional primary on Tuesday.

Actually, he's been busy schooling Bernanke on why his current reckless path of rate cutting is actually doing more harm than good and is only delaying the day of reckoning...

Ron Paul can kiss my black ass

I’m ing sick of Ron Paul.
I wouldn’t vote for the mother****** if he promised to give us a happy-ending massage and a new car. I wouldn’t vote for the mother****** if he gave me a got-damn blow-job in the voting booth. I wouldn’t vote for Ron Paul if the mother****** daisies and ten dollar bills.
You know why I won’t vote for Ron Paul? His supporters are annoying the out of me. They’re acting like he’s Tom Joad or some . “Wherever Ron Paul’s name is mentioned, I’ll comment. Wherever Ron Paul bombs in the polls, I’ll be there to insist there was fraud. Wherever Ron Paul wipes his ass, I’ll be there to proclaim the toilet paper a sacred got-damn object to be studied and celebrated on Fark.com.”
I ain’t saying we got a good selection of candidates, but I am saying that this Ron Paul cat’s supporters are beginning to freak me the out. I went to a restaurant last night (secret place–I ain’t like those paparazzi pap-smears who make got-damn sure everyone in the world knows when they’re eating at a restaurant), and I had to take a . So I excused myself from the table, walked back to the men’s room, picked a stall, dropped my pants, and sat my black ass down on the cold mothering porcelain. Relaxed a bit, let it all fall out. Between the first and second -package, my ass made a sound not unlike “Ron Paul”. The next thing I knew, there were fifteen Ron Paul supporters outside the got-damn door, gyrating and blogging and commenting on how wonderful my Sam Jack was. Now, I know for fact that if I’d farted out a good “Mitt Romney,” wouldn’t nobody have done so much as a golf-clap.
I don’t need no got-damn chorus of “Dr. Paul! Dr. Paul!” while I’m taking a , and having four got-damn years of that ain’t something I’m looking forward to.
That and he may lose his Congressional primary on Tuesday.
Dude, if that ain't the truth... I was celebrating my oldest's B-Day today and met up with a lot of fam and the one of the topics was RP and if they were going to vote him in for his seat back, and yeah my fam is pretty diverse, like the rainbow coalition and , and every one says the same thing, NO.. I don't live in his district anymore, but talking to them, yeah.... he is in danger of loosing his seat.....
may be very close ..... then he will live large off of his off shore accounts ;)

I still support RP but admitted on Super Tuesday that it was officially over. It's sad to see that Americans have completely turned their back on the Constitution. Paul was bringing up vital questions that every American should be asking themselves. He was the only candidate questioning the direction we've been headed as a nation for the past 50 years...questioning the idea of having 800 military bases overseas. He was the only one concerned over how much power we have ceded to the government over our economic and personal decisions..and the only candidate questioning the logic of having a currency that can (and is being) devalued on a whim by people like Ben Bernanke. The list goes on..
So yeah...he lost. He is keeping up the fight in Congress and has promised to preach the message of liberty as long as he is able. If you ask me, I think the damage has already been done to the GOP. Many republicans have come to realize that their party has been hijacked by people with decidedly ANTI-conservative ideas. They now realize there is an alternative out there, and that if they continue supporting neocons like Bush/Mccain etc, the republican party is destined to become obsolete.
The neocons have had their time in the sun, and their flame is about to be snuffed out big time 8 months from now. I believe Ron Paul's campaign reached a large number of voters, and even if only 5% of republicans take his message to heart and decide to vote third party or to abstain from voting altogether, this will be enough to deliver a crushing defeat to Mccain and the other neocon candidates this year. Their ideas of pre-emptive war and reshaping the world through military force will be purged from the "big tent" of the republican party, so we can start anew with a truly conservative message in 2012 or 2016. This will be Ron Paul's legacy. He lost the battle..but by waking up a large number of republicans and making the neocons go down in flames, he will win the war.

Whom exactly did he "wake up"? He pulled 3-5% of the GOP vote in the primaries he did compete in, and exit polls suggest that most of that support came from disillusioned Dems and Independents. He did very, very poorly among traditional Republicans.
That said, I am still waiting to hear what, exactly, he did with his record campaign fundraising hauls. He raised more money than John McCain, yet ran fewer advertisements and made fewer campaign stops. Where did all that money go? If I was a Ron Paul supporter who donated on the fifth of November or whatever, that is definitely a question I would want an answer to. Libertarians are so afraid of the government taking their hard-earned money, but Ron Paul just robbed the lot of them blind.

Here is an update from a couple weeks ago, directly from RP. He seems to recognize that he won't get the nomination but plans to continue campaigning as long as the support and money is coming in. I think he hopes to influence the debate within the GOP...to continue spreading his message and to work on building a grassroots movement towards liberty. He is now calling for a major march on Washington...pretty bold idea. We'll see if it happens..

Right... but what is he spending his millions and millions of fundraising dollars on?
