He didn't officially drop out (few people do; there's big FEC considerations so most just 'suspend' until they get their financial obligations in order) but said he won't actively campaign. Instead, he's trying to grab delegates at the state conventions themselves to potentially have a voice at the national convention.
Anyway, Paul's so popular that he bombed even at the caucuses that were supposed to be his firewall of motivated supporters. Back in January, he was going to employ an Obama 2008 strategy of holding his own in primary elections but sweeping the caucus states with huge margins due to large numbers of enthusiastic supporters. How'd that work out for him?

He pulled some crazy **** in the Louisiana caucaus, but that's mainly because we have a primary and a caucus and the delegates are split between them. So after all of the Republicans voted in the primary election, they thought it was over until the presidential election. Paul's supporters, on the other hand, showed up in force for the caucus and he took something like 17 of the 20 caucus delegates.
