Who are these guys???? $300,000 spent on SC ads by a new Ron Paul super PAC

[rocky]

These ads may not be of the same cinematic quality as the campaigns....but boy are they good!

SC is about to get blitzed! Who is this "Santa Rita SuperPAC"?....IMHO, their ads are superior.....I'm gonna donate money to them from now on instead of the campaign.

have a look at all 6 ads. My favorite is "mask"

The ads aren't very good tbh, but I'm glad someone is spending this kind of money. I just wish they'd collaborate with some of the better people in our community to have better quality ads.

[RonPaulRules]

They message's are really good. The quality of the actual ads are High School level.

Do what you want with your own money but I'm shaking my head at you right now for even contemplating that...

[bluesc]

Something about your over-enthusiasm is off. If you really are considering donating to them rather than the campaign, give it to the campaign.

The ads are okay. No way are they better than the campaign. You can do what you want with your money, but the campaign puts out much higher quality ads. "Mask" is probably the worst of all those ads for South Carolina voters.

Are we getting spammed by this SuperPAC?

I've seen a couple of odd threads like this tonight.

Is this really a SuperPAC or just someone trying to scam us for money?

I'm starting to get curious of that as well..

A mod should check the IP of these posters who just joined THIS MONTH that have been talking about the new SR-SuperPAC.

[moonshine5757]

loved them all!

I don't trust them. I hate the idea of super PACs anyway, but let's be honest, we are easy to rip off. Anything Ron Paul related, we throw money at it without question. Just give money to the campaign and let super PACs go after big donors as they are meant to.

[Vet_from_cali]

OMG nice


never heard of the PAC b4, but glad we got their support!

im donating to Pauls campaign!pacs are for people who maxed out donating to Rons campaign.

I refuse to pay for anymore useless anti-Gingrich or anti-Santorum ads.

When the campaign decides to unload on Romney, or maybe run some pro-military and Senior focused ads - then I'll donate again.

RevPAC is. These outside groups that pop up with no backstory shouldn't get any money from us. They should have to have personal contact with big donors and gain their trust.

[Oddone]

This PAC is run by Donald Huffine and his Borthers. They are super rich. They own radios stations, Auto groups and tons of Houseing communites in DFW. The money is theirs and I'll bet they started their own PAC so no one could tell them how to use the money. Otherwise they could have donated to the RevPAC.

Edit: DO NOT PUSH THESE GUYS AWAY! Donate to the Campaign, and give thanks to this new PAC. This New PAC could bring in WAY more money than the RevPAC ever will. Huffine has deep pockets and rich friends.

There are no more anti-Gingrich ads running and the anti-Santorum ad was aimed at him in South Carolina, which is important due to his surge there.

The campaign is running an anti-Romney radio ad in New Hampshire and has been for the entire week. If you haven't heard it, I'll PM it to you.

My understanding is that they have already dropped the 300,000K. That comes from Jake Tapper's twiiter. Ads start running Monday.

Oh look, an armchair strategist.

Yes, please do. But why no TV ads against Romney? You think maybe the campaign is afraid of a possible multi-million dollar retaliation from Mitt's PAC?

As a 4 year marketing professional I can tell you that those ADs are horrible and are a waste of money... Potentially harmful.

Im just frustrated that we keep IGNORING the Seniors and playing footsies with Mittens.

Nothing "armchair" about that. SENIORS WIN PRIMARIES!

[Brandon Todd Carr]

Honorable effort but amateur quality.

[jkob]

Simple ads but always good to have more help

[brendan.orourke]

Good content, but they look like power point presentations.

[Captain America]

I love this.

[Liberty74]

They aren't great ads but they do put Paul out there with some additional exposure costing $300K. Not sure how far that goes in SC...

Honestly, after seeing what they have put out, I would never donate to them.

[mmadness]

I like them, with the exception of the ones criticizing Bush.

KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) Works!

[liveandletlive]

LMAO...truth hurts

very lacking in substance. No one's voting for Paul because the Movie Previews guy said he's the guy to vote for

[Agorism]

can someone post all 6 ads..

[D.A.S.]

The ads are simple and effective and professional. You don't need the movie blockbuster quality ads like the campaign is putting out to be effective - you guys are the internet crowd and very multimedia savvy, while a lot of people these ads are meant to reach are not. They are simple, effective, and deliver the nitty gritty quickly. It's an honorable effort, and we need all the help we can get in SC. These ads will help enormously, since these guys apparently can afford to disseminate them ALL over the state.

[JohnGalt23g]

Just so y'all know, Shel Adelson (Las Vegas Sands Corp) just kicked in $5 million to a pro-Newt SuperPAC, and it sounds like it is for SC.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/billionaire-adelson-gives-millions-to-gingrich-super-pac/2012/01/07/gIQAXI6rhP_story.html

The campaign (and the grassroots) might want to reconsider our commitment to South Carolina. It sounds like it is going to be a bloodbath there.

[Razmear]

WTF? Are you on crack?

The OP is a link to a playlist that plays them all. I thought they were quite good, and they will play good here in SC.

Dammit we need a well funded superPAC.

SC is a "Winner Take All" state, the campaign shouldn't be focusing too hard here, but glad the PAC is making the effort.

[steph3n]

Guys you are all acting like kids here.

This superpac was setup not to take your money, but for some wealthy people to spend their own.

[Tyler_Durden]

We need a super PAC on this:

[r3volution]

arguing about ads , i love it . now this is what i call top tier . we must be doing something right ..

[refuge]

Not sure if the Bush stuff would appeal to the older voters.

Also, what's wrong with donating to RevPac? Don't they have that one ad that appeals to the seniors?

[Kenso]

Those ads should do fine in SC. The mask/Bush ad might be the only questionable one for SC voters but overall very good I think. Nice ad regarding his overwhelming support/donations from members of the military and his service in the Air Force.

[Kojack]

I'm in SC and these ads look like they'll play pretty good here, especially the military one.

It's probably way too long to ever get shown on the air, but I'd like to see an updated version of this one hit the airwaves:

Useless? I think these ads (especially the Newt ones, all being true) crushed those candidates like bugs..Where have you been?

[PeteinLA]

I like em. Fire them up I say!

[Chester Copperpot]

I thought their commercials were good..


Maybe somebody in SC can tell us if any of these have aired on TV

[GunnyFreedom]

Not the best production quality, but dead solid on the issues. I think these will play better in SC than high production quality ads will.

[Publicani]

As a 4 year marketing professional I can tell you that those ADs are horrible and are a waste of money... Potentially harmful.
I am doubting your marketing professional credential. Your comment without any backing is pure bs.

[GunnyFreedom]

Look guys, I'm going to be dead honest. SC was my biggest gut-check worry for all of 2012. I've been DEEPLY worried about SC since September at least. I wasn't talking about it because we need to keep and build momentum. I canvassed SC in 2008. I spent the first 6 years of my life in SC. I still have friends in SC. Watching these ads from the Santa Rita SuperPAC...

I suddenly have real hope for SC.

Real hope.

I know how SC is. These are EXACTLY what we need there.

I am convinced that these ads will do us better in SC than the Rev SuperPAC and the PCC combined.

That's nothing against them, SC is just. different.

Slick production value they aren't going to like. Concise, hard-hitting, truthbombs packaged in the way they talk and think. That's what wins SC.

I'm dead serious. I literally had no hope for SC until now.These ads give me hope for NC. This Santa Rita SuperPAC, whoever the heck they are, they know SC and they mean business.

[GunnyFreedom]

Thank you. My guess is a bunch of the people commenting in this thread have never been to South Carolina.

[GunnyFreedom]

And I don't mean we should divert any money away from the PCC and the Rev SuperPAC either. Obviously these SantaRita SuperPAC people found money somewhere outside of us. I say more power to them.

[TNforPaul45]

Those were horrible.

Stick with RevPac please.

Why? And why can't we support both?
