... or wastes it, as the case may be.

Here's his first ad for the New Hampshire effort:

It's really terrible!

Honestly though, the fact that it's so bad is kind of cool in a way. His fans do better campaigning for free than he can pay for. The press really doesn't get this about the whole Ron Paul thing. He's not cleverly exploiting the internet. We're exploiting him!

I'm sure he'll hear about this from supporters and do something better. All he really needs to do is play some of the YouTube vids. Enough with the scripted, badly acted testimonials.

Youtube is one thing; you try putting that stuff on the air as a paid for ad, you need to make sure all the copyright stuff is done right. Music paid for, images credited, etc. But I do like the idea.

I guess. We put together a local radio ad and ran it several times (all for only a few hundred bucks). It was a cobbled together collection of you tube vid sound clips. I suppose if it was a high-profile effort we'd probably be getting sued. That's the thing, we can get away with much more than the official campaign can.

That's what makes us special. :)

Did you get the special rate for candidates? It's way cheaper than for regular advertisers.

He has more than two? Bull!

(Bulls have 5 or more. )

Side note to PN: your sig is getting a bit long, and is rich in graphics. I'd personally appreciate it if you shortened it a bit. If you aren't willing to, another thing you might do is at least add:
====Signature starts
I suspect folks are often confused where your post leaves off and your signature starts.

He may have a third or fourth nad, but "bigger" would probably be more appropriate.

Hey.... I think I just came up with a bumper sticker

Y'all heard it here first. FFF.NET... the poor man's copyright.



I think Ron Paul would approve of this message.
