Paul campaign reports $6 million cash on hand

It may not be Obama money, but the Paul campaign had almost exactly $6 million in the bank at the end of January with no debt. By comparison, McCain had $5 million on hand but had debts of $5.5 million, and Huckabee had less than $1 million on hand.
Since then, the Paul campaign has raised another $1.5 million and presumably spent more than that, but likely still has $4-5 million today.
So I guess the question is: what are they planning on doing with the last of the campaign kitty?

Donations to his presidential campaign will pick up after he wins his congressional seat back. I the meantime I would luv for campaign hq to organize a large arena rally similar to what Nader did in 2000. Pick a Sat and make it an all day event with musicians and performing artists, a wide variety of speakers to expand the campaign platform and then cap it off with a speech by Dr. Paul. The Nader events were televised on C-span and made a big splash that summer so I think the campaign could get some good donation spikes from a few of these arena rally's
There is not enough money
There is not enough money for the campaign staff to make it through to the RNC in September AND advertise. So, the money will be used to coast into the RNC.
No more significant advertising will be done unless more money comes in (doubtful)...
