Awesome!

Damn, I wish the campaign would have fixed the audio sync before all these sites link to the ad. It will have a significant number of views before they upload the fixed version, and the views/likes/comments/favs will be split, the same as last time.

I actually think a lot of people will either not notice or not care. Not everyone's technical.

Ron Paul really hammering the foreign policy lately. Articulating foreign policy and entitlements is the battle that Ron needs to do well to win.

The more views/comments/favs/likes it gets, the more visibility it gets. This video will get the media bump, the fixed version will have the organic views.

Oh well, what's important is that it will be on television nationwide tonight. Millions of views :D

No sync problems for me.

yeah me neither. and i watched it a couple times trying to see what people were talking about.

Someone posted that the campaign fixed it. Maybe I just saw it after that.

Hm, it's a fine ad, but $1M on this ad? Seems kind of spendy for an ad with not much policy substance...

Its not all for that one ad. it is for a series of ads, with new ones following up in the weeks ahead.

This is a great ad.
Certainly head and shoulders above the "he's catching on" garbage.
Sentimental music, old timers recalling 'Nam. Perfect.

Let's hope it translates into results come primaries.

...an ad with not much policy substance...

Do not discount the impact of an ad like this, which grabs and squeezes hard on the heart. I've watched it five or six times so far and have gone through half a box of tissues. Maybe it doesn't have this effect on people who weren't around or involved in the anti-war movement of the '60s and '70s, I can't write from their perspective, but from someone whose political awakening came about during the Vietnam War era, let me tell you this ad is immensely powerful.
