Talk about Dense. Both Santorum and Cain “Suspended” their campaigns. Therefore, they are still technically, and legally candidates and can raise money for that purpose.
Newt, while not uttering the word “suspend” at a press conference, has let most of his staff go and is simply fundraising to pay off his own debts. He has not seriously campaigned in any state since losing Mississipi and Alabama. Whether or not Newt or Paul ever “Suspend” their campaigns before the convention, they have both been out of it for quite some time.
In Newt’s own words last week, he’s not out of it.

They all “suspend” their campaigns when they drop out. It’s just what they have to say for legal/financial purposes. Newt is still in it. He’s campaigning as much as he can with the money he has. If he got a multi-million dollar donation tomorrow, I guarantee you he’d be running ads and doing more travel. He’s doing everything he can do. If your vote is up for sale, then vote for the candidate who has the most money. I’ll be voting for the best candidate here in Pennsylvania.
