Default Should CFL buy TV ADs like Obama

Should CFL buy TV ADs like Obama?

This post is not to look back and do the should of, would of, could of, but to look forward and ask if this is something that could work for the Revolution in the future.

Obama spent 4 million to do his campaign infomercial and reached about 33.6 million people with the half hour spots.
Source: http://www.newsday.com/services/news...,3421515.story

Ron Paul raised 6 million in one day that could have paid for this type of Mainstream TV time. Even the money left at the end of Ron Paul's campaign, around 5 million, could have paid for a nationwide TV spot.

How much more might have been raised to do more TV after, and keep it building on itself?

This also would give the opportunity to talk about real issues without the filter of some talking head asking questions that have nothing to do with the real issues.

So my question is: How many would contribute to a half hour Prime time Nationwide TV spots for the Campaign for Liberty in the future? Not just for a election campaign, but as a way to inform/educate and build support.

Maybe a half hour about the Federal Reserve and the economy.

I have also posted this on Daily Paul and Break the Matrix for discussion.

From what I understand they were not going to charge Ron Paul 4 million.

If Ron Paul could have bought 30 minute slots of prime time TV for even twice what they charged Obama, I would have contributed to it (and prayed that the campaign hired some fucking experts to produce the video).

Thanks for actually answering the question.

This plus I don't think Ron Paul would have done it as he would have known that they'd have taken his money and then turned around and compared him (unfavorably) to Ross Perot.

As for a CFL infomercial, I doubt it would keep people tuned in unless it were made very entertaining. But I'd sure like to take a crack at writing some satirical skits for it...
