OK,
I know I will get a lot of mixed feedback about this, and I am SURE this has been discussed countless times and possibly could have already reached dead horse status but I wanted to throw out a plausible scenario.
For the people that are not familiar with the Super Bowl, It is going to be played in Arizona on February 3rd 2008. I have a feeling, especially if the patriots make it (no I am not a fan)! That this will be one of the most heavily watched games in the past 20 years. Besides the fact that we would receive SO many people who are not affiliated with politics in any way, the thing that keeps resonating is my head is the date. Super Tuesday is only two days away! I know a lot of states would only allow registered republicans to vote but imagine if a proper 30 second spot would get another 10-20% of registered republicans who would not normally vote out two days later. We could even put that into the ad urging people to change America.
I am not here to try and make an ad or even say what is the best material to be in one, the fact that you would have MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people seeing DR Paul message for the first time would deffintly garner him more votes two days later. I truly feel we have given enough money to the campaign in large doses to allow them to achieve to their Max potential in their current form. Another large grass roots idea might be just what we need to push us over the top!
Now We would need 2.4 million dollars to have a 30 second spot, For all I know all of the Air time could be spoken for and trying to make something this late in the game could very well be impossible. If this is the case why am I still writing? The fact that the way this campaign has been going I feel if we thought this is something worthwhile we could achieve any monetary goal or time frame. I have complete faith in the grassroots effort!
So many companies have had make it or break it careers because of superbowl ads. The Apple 1984 super bowl ad truly put Apple on the map! I have no idea if another canidate has done an ad before. Before Dr. Paul I did not pay attention to politics much but Advertising has been a hobby of mine for a long time!
Lets have as much discussion on this topic as possible. I know we would possibly run into all of the same issues that the blimp people had with a large grassroots collection of money. As much as I support the blimp project I feel this would have a MUCH larger impact just 2 days before one of the most important primary dates of the election year!
Lets the brainstorming begin!
