Clicked. Clicked. Watched. Watched. Shared!

Edit: We should try getting Druge to link directly to the ads just like he did for Perry!

The Money Bomb eased some pressure on the decision I'm sure. :)

So, these will be running in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada - 2 million.
Does anyone know how much impact this would have?

I am assuming 500k in each market for 2 weeks. Doesn't seem like much or does that buy alot of time?

Anyone in these states have an opinion on these two Ads in those markets?

doubt it will be 500K per market, probably skewed more towards Iowa, and NH I bet.

But look at the story he links to -- Paul takes out money to criticize rivals?

But at least he changed the headline to one more favorable.

Why isnt he airing the 'Conviction' add? That one is the most populair on youtube with more then 600k views.
The same question is also true for the "The one who can beat Obama" add, with over 300k views.

PS. This is not meant as critic, but I'm just curious. So its a real question, because I was pondering about that. :confused:

In my opinion, Ron Paul needs to go on the attack. "Consistent" exposes the double-speak of other GOP frontrunners AND makes the doctor stand out as a man of principle. The thing about going on the attack is that you have to be careful not to appear desperate (AKA Rick Perry Syndrome), but "Consistent" and "Plan" just scream 'confidence'.

Those ads were meant to fit in with movie trailers. Right now there aren't that many movie trailers on TV. Also, the campaign knows what they need to project with their ads. The "life", "consistent", and "plan" ads are PERFECT right now.

Ha. Now there's this article from Death & Taxes:

"Ron Paul Spends $2 Million on Attack Ads: Is This Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel?"

"Ron Paul has proven that he’s the idea man of the Republican party, so why attack his fellow candidates even if they’re a class of idots? It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. "
