I cannot count how many articles by any number of outlets that have asserted and claimed that Rand Paul has dropped out of the presidential race. This is not true. A suspension does not mean, although it can, that someone has dropped out. If Rand is on the ballot in all 50 states, he surely understood the importance of having his name on those ballots.
Rand Paul is still a viable and most notably, worthy candidate to vote for. It is unfortunate that Oregonians will not be able to cast a vote in the primary until May 17th, but nonetheless, whether all fires have seemingly been extinguished in their spreading throughout this land, I will keep to my conscience and vote for Rand. After all, the write-in campaign for Ron Paul in 2012 was something I was proud to take part in and would do it all over again.
