Paul's campaign has shrunk from more than 150 staffers before Super Tuesday on Feb. 5 to around 15, according to Benton. But with more than $4 million in cash on hand, his campaign says there is no good reason to stop.

Plus, he is still racking up votes, having garnered 16 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania's Republican primary on April 22.
