I've heard a lot of radio ads and I don't listen to the radio that much, no TV though.

Maybe saving the TV ads for other places.... (heard plenty of reports of TV ads elsewhere).

Only Obama and Clinton ads on broadcast TV.

I don't get it. Why is the campaign not spending advertising money out here? Delegates are awarded by congressional district.

While exercising at the gym yesterday I had the chance to notice which political ads were on different channels during two hours. Many tv's on at once. Most ads were Obama, Hillary, McCain and Romney. There was one or two of Huckabee. No Ron Paul. The McCain ad was replayed again for free, gratis in the local news coverage.

Obama ads are playing on several spanish stations, in spanish of course.

I have yet to see my first RP ad

 

[smartguy911]

he is not targeting "winner take all" states

 

[propanes]

smartguy911, California isn't a winner takes all state. Delegates are awarded by congressional district.

Hope you californians take full advantage of that

 

[propanes]

My concern is the campaign isn't taking advantage. Substantial money isn't being spent on television advertising, as far as I can tell. However, the campaign may figure there aren't enough registered republicans to vote in the primary for Ron.

 

[intelliot]

How can we communicate with the campaign?

Can we get everyone on his campaign team to register here on these forums????

 

[link88]

I'm in LA, and still no commercials. I only see Obama, Hillary and Romney D:

I saw two Ron Paul TV ads last night on cable -- actually, the same ad twice on two different channels. It was on the History Channel and on ESPN, probably around 11:30 PM. (Good targeting of demographics!) It had Ron Paul speaking to a large crowd about liberty (I think it was from the Tennessee rally), with a floating image of the Constitution. It was run by "Patriots for Paul", not by the campaign, but referred people to the campaign website.

Good job Patriots for Paul!

I've heard several of the campaign's radio ads on talk radio, on the morning and evening drives, and I have a short commute.

The only TV ads I have seen for the election are the Indian gaming propositions (pro and con), and a lot of Hillary ads. She is advertising big time on HGTV and the Food Network, which my wife watches a lot. We have yet to see any Obama or Romney ads.

I'm working my ass off man. I hope every single Californian in this forum is doing more than just surfing for Ron Paul!

Go pass out flyers, put up signs, wave signs, email, call, talk to someone!!! It's not too late, in fact the next 48 hours are the most important ever.

Remember that most Republicans still are UNDECIDED about who to vote for.
