I mean...most of that money was not given to him by people who wanted him to use it for his congressional run. Yet he is going to use it for that very purpose....not right in my opinion.

Because if he does not focus on his congressional seat he could be done. completely. I too wish things were going better or turned out different but to say turn on him now - I have to ask why were you supporting him in the first place?

I think he'd be required to return it pro-rated(?) to the donors. No I don't think they have to give it back - but I agree, because those that donated have given him millions of dollars - and to just quit is not an option, he can keep his Congressional seat but he still needs to hop onboard the Libertarian or Constitutional parties and run for President. They still have to have him in the debates and it will be against 2 people with two different viewpoints, it could be the first time in modern history that a 3rd party will win. But this sad talk from Paul is really affecting the morale overall, because last week, the Ron Paul blimp could no longer afford to stay afloat, and it has been returned.

I can't find what a candidate has to do with unused donations, but I know they can't keep them. I'm sure RP will stay in at least until the funds run out.
