It Only Cost Obama $1,000,000 Per Network - Ron Could of Done It!

[phixion]

I remember people used to say it would cost over $30,000,000 to run TV adverts back when Ron was 'still in the race' and sitting on piles of cash.

Obviously this isn't the case because Barack only spent $1 million per network according to this BBC article. Click to read.

Hmmm.

So what are you suggesting? That Ron Paul purposely lost?

 

[nate895]

I think this would have been a good idea, if he would have done it the night before Super Tuesday. But that was the past, can't change it now.

 

[forsmant]

we can do it next time

It was 1 mill discounted price each! Call it the Obama special...

 

[Kotin]

no no no.. you got it all wrong.


that price is the Messiah rate...

 

[LibertyRevolution]

I dont think they would have sold Ron Paul that type of airtime at any price.

I'd be inclined to agree if it wasn't for the fact that it would be against the law.

Which "People" ??

I remember the H. Ross Perot infomercials with all his graphs and charts.
"It is really very simple.."" he would say. It got him a lot of attention and he did pretty well as a third party candidate - he was actually ahead of Clinton and HW Bush in the polls in June 1992, and he still got almost 19% of the vote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot

Unfortunately even if the RP campaign had paid for the airwaves...it still would have been with the shitty campaign commercials that were far surpassed by youtube videos in quality. But I understand what your saying...I'm pissed too. RP had terrible people running his campaign. This is our lesson to learn from. We need to get our shit together over the next few years...oh and if anybody suggests another blimp...shut up.

 

[Zippyjuan]

Aside from its novelty factor, a blimp is not an effective way to advertise.

 

[Truth Warrior]

They would have charged Ron $10 million per network. And then, for unknown reasons, experienced severe "technical difficulties" throughout the broadcast.

I'd be inclined to agree if it wasn't for the fact that it would be against the law.

It would only be against FCC rules if they didn't extend the same offer to any candidate.

Once you have a candidate on your TV show for example you have to offer equal air time to any other candidate that wants to be on your show.

I am not sure how advertising discounts would work since ad rates change every hour on each station...

 

[werdd]

they probably offered it to obama so cheap because they knew they would get millions of viewers... the messiah ratings

 

[Conza88]

Tell me how you can possibly compete against 24/hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365days a year FREE PRESS COVERAGE & promotion by the entire msm for the establishment candidates?! And thats not including the marginalization, are you running indy?, you used to be a libertarian, rascist newsletters bullshit, not chance in hell denunciations..

Anyone & everyone that blames campaign management for Ron Paul not being the Republican nominee...

Is clinically retarded. No word of a lie, logic & reality don't flow between your ears.

The overall exercise WAS beneficial. And that is going by the numbers. LadyJade interviewed Trevor Lyman at the rally... it's up on the C4L youtube.

Trevor gets called in to the Ron Paul offices to discuss his blimp plans.
