Some people seem to question whether there should be a Super Bowl ad, but I hope you all realize something. The campaign has been asking for $23 million to run campaign ads in some 23 states. That is a lot of money and might get TV time in each of those states and then be gone.

However, a Super Bowl ad, February 3rd two days before February 5th would cost $2.6 million out of the current campaigns coffers and would be in all 50 states. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. It took $1 million to get ads running in New Hampshire, only 1 million people. In comparison the Super Bowl reaches out to tens of millions of people.

There is a great deal more bang for the buck in a Super Bowl ad than running individual TV ads in every state.

Then the millions of dollars he has left can be spent on things that matter a great deal more like organization and getting people out to the voting booths. If the official campaign is doing this it just shows how good a spender Ron Paul really is because it is a cost-effective way to run a national campaign.

No argument here. . .as long as it's one humdinger of an ad.

You do know that the Super Bowl is being broadcast by FOX. What are the odds of FOX allowing a RP ad to be shown on their network?

Would it be against the law for them to reject the ad for no reason?

They can't do that on broadcast television unless they want the FCC all up on their ass.
