Presidential hopeful Ron Paul has conceded that John McCain has enough delegates to win the Republican nomination, but come May 20th, you'll still see Paul's name on the Kentucky primary ballot.
"Though victory in the political sense in not available, many victories have been achieved due to hard work and enthusiasm," explains Ron Paul in a Youtube video.
It's a message that made many think Ron Paul had dropped from the Presidential race.
But according to Paul's son and Bowling Green ophthalmologist Dr. Rand Paul, this campaign isn't over.
"He has made an announcement, basically, that he cannot get the nomination at the same time saying, we will continue to have our name on the ballot. We will continue to contest the remaining primaries," says Dr. Rand Paul.
Dr. Paul adds the reason for this is to send a message to the Republican party.
"We used to believe in balanced budgets and smaller federal government," he says. "We've lost our way and that's why we're doing poorly at the polls."
But one job Ron Paul's not considering is Vice President.
"My dad and McCain are so different, I'm not sure he'll even endorse McCain," says Dr. Paul. "My dad wants to pull out of Iraq. McCain thinks we should stay for a hundred years. I truly think the Republican party's lost it's way and we're going to go down to a utter crushing defeat if we don't change our ways."
Dr. Rand Paul adds that his father will be speaking at Riverside Park in Louisville on May 10, in preparation of the Kentucky primary.
