First, Ron Paul no longer holds elective office. He had some power as a long-serving member of the House, but that is gone now. Without the high-profile pulpit he used to have, he is naturally going to attract less attention.
Second, Ron Paul's son Rand makes for better TV. He is a much slicker and more polished speaker than his father, and he holds a seat in the Senate.
Third, he failed. Ron Paul tried to obtain the Republican nomination twice, and lost. He managed to move the debate over issues in a much more libertarian direction, and he managed to assemble a large libertarian caucus within the Republican machine. Neither of these very real achievements was enough to overcome the fact that his foreign policy does not sell with most Republicans.
Ron Paul did not drop out, the media just tells you that he did because McCain has the amount of needed delegates. Ron Paul believes that the convention should be used for the delagates to debate the best platform for the party to run on and THEN select the nominee, as such he is still actively seeking delegates.

Ron Paul criticized America and it's citizens. He wanted people to suffer a little in order to help the country overall. People don't want to suffer for their future generation and children. They don't like being criticized because it reminds them how bad they are to their country. Americans didn't listen to JFK's famous line: Don't ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Ron Paul Could have fixed the economy. But people don't realize this until the end. Next year, if Ron Paul runs, he'll have a bigger chance of winning. Cause Americans are good learners. They have now learned. Also, the mainstream media has done a great job of blocking Ron Paul from news stories; whoever controls the media controls reality.
