The GOP candidate's crew has decided it is more worthwhile to pour money, "phone bomb" calls and bodies into Nevada rather than expend large amounts of resources in Florida's Jan. 31 primaries, though Paul is spending some time and effort campaigning in South Carolina, whose voters go to the polls Jan. 21.

The gamble may be a smart one, as Paul came in second (albeit by a long margin) to Mitt Romney in Nevada in 2008, besting eventual Republican nominee John McCain.

Time.com explained the campaign's reasoning behind not making a full push for voters in Florida.

"His campaign manager, Jesse Benton, says they don't have the estimated $9 million they would need to vie for sprawling, expensive Florida," wrote Time.com. "'We're not gonna compete in a state where we can't fully compete,' Benton says."
