    High Tide updated for 2012 in HD

    After a bunch of requests I was finally able to get the High Tide updated with a 2012 tag at the end! Started from the uncompressed source renders I had archived from Nathan Evans. Uploaded in 720p 24p this time. Spread!

    Adam, the video is AWESOME man! I think it would make an EXCELLENT grassroots commercial if we were able to use the 2nd half of the video (when he starts talking about the overseas spending) as a commercial in Iowa or N.H. i would certainly donate!

    Def my fav video. Thanks for the update :-)

    I am not sure if a cgi character will help. People want to see the real person and look directly into his eyes.

    I would love to see this video on TV commercials nationwide. Definitely a favorite.

    The grassroots blasted this ad in Idaho and Oregon during their late season primaries without the official campaign and it probably helped quite a bit. We need to start broadcasting this in Iowa and New Hampshire.

    That video is one of the best. I loved it in 08 and I still love it today. Thanks for updating it.

    We ran it in PA, SD, ID and a few other late primary states. Hard to say for sure, but RP did very well in those states after Super Tuesday. Particularly in ID where it ran state-wide 100s of times.

    Idaho and Oregon are west. North east (Maine) would work. Not sure about Iowa, though. New Hampshire? I like to think yes but people say it is like Ohio, and both Senators voted for the Patriot Act.... I don't know if it fits there or not.

    I remember chipping in for airing it, and remember that the airtime on cable was VERY reasonable. If it suits the market in Iowa it would be great before the straw poll. I'm just not sure how they are on war weariness.

    Its a great video but i would omit the first portion as i dont think most people like the idea of Ron Paul calling our foreign policy "insecure" and in the 2nd half where Ron Paul talks about all the overseas spending being a waste, that seems to be the best way to attack the issue.

    I think the part where he says we have over 700 bases in over 130 countries is important, but given that the warmongering against Iran has subsided (for now), I think we could transition directly from the first part to the part about spending. And put this on the air in Iowa and NH ASAP.

    was hoping to see the video redone with a newer RP speech. Beggars can't be choosers. Well done.

    Yes, the Iran part isn't very timely currently.

    This. If someone who is good with this type of stuff merely replaced the word Iran with either Pakistan or Syria it would be perfect for 2012.

    Just got subtitles added to the Youtube. English and Chinese (Simplified & Traditional). Got word "high tide is currently being passed around China" so some guy sent us the Chinese sub files. Interesting.

    Honestly I'd lead with the monetary position to get people to pay attention and then move to the general military. Some R voters will be turned off the second they hear anything anti military but if they start to agree from a fiscal perspective they may have to give some thought to it.

    Remember we aren't here to appeal to us - he already has our vote - we need to appeal to one group only the likely primary Republican voter.

    Anyone have a 30 second version of this? Maybe selling the for liberty video? If they do it just may get played in New Hampshire

    PM me so we can chat about it.
