Official New Ron Paul Ad: Etch A Sketch

[Havax]

Nice!

THANK YOU RON PAUL!
We're facing serious crises in this country and all the media and all the politicians are just wagging their Etch-a-Sketches around. get serious!
This ad, this needed to be said.

Great idea, but........................ Santorum and Gingrich are shown delivering the message.

Paul appears nowhere, beyond his name in text at the end of the ad.

 

[Havax]

Great ad but definitely a little odd how Romney is the topic of the whole Etch A Sketch meme but he isn't shown or mentioned once. It almost looks like it could be a joint ad for Santorum/Gingrich until you see Ron Paul's name at the end.

Which makes me think the campaign is definitely hoping for more success from Santorum/Gingrich so we can have a brokered convention.

 

[ohgodno]

One of the better ads they've done.

Still need a FP ad though it's likely too late for it to make any impact - the narrative on that has been long cemented.

 

[kill the banks]

right to the point !

Nice, but I frankly would have added an 'etch a sketch' moment from EACH of the three. But it is expensive. Are we going to give them the money to do it?

Horrible ad...rp isnt in it. This ad doesnt even attack romney....which this is all about. It is santorum and gingrich talking. Just a bad ad

This ad misses and won't make a damn bit of difference. Romney voters see the ability to flip flop as an advantage, they are not ideology based voters.

The only thing that would hurt Romney is a class warfare attack, not that Paul would ever do it but thats all that would work.

This just proves the campaign refuses to call out Romney in one ad. This is seemingly mor of an anti-Newton and anti-Santorum ad. Big miss indeed.

So now you're the GRC Crossing Guard and the Campaign PR/Ad Professional? Man of many hats.


I get the ad. While the others are talking toy meme's, only ONE has an actual plan to deal with the crisis at hand. I'd say the Campaign acted pretty fast to put an ad together!! Nice!

well you can look at it that way ... I see it as Rick and newt are not the real alternative to the anti romney candidate ~ Ron Paul

 

[pauliticalfan]

Huge favor to Romney. If you haven't been watching the news, it looks like Santorum and Gingrich are the ones advocating a reset and playing games. Wtf.

 

[V3n]

The ad shows the other candidates playing with toys interspersed with real problems (unemployment, debt) and pictures of real Americans suffering, then it ends with 'Ron Paul has a Serious Plan'.

It's not just attacking Romney, it's attacking all the candidates and pundits who just want to talk about toys while this country falls apart.

There's a reason Ron Paul isn't in it - he doesn't discuss toys, he discusses issues.

No it isn't. It is Romney's campaign guy in the beginning saying Romney can turn on a dime. In fact I would have added flips by THE OTHERS to show it applies to them, too.

I agree that Romney voters aren't bothered much by 'flexibility'.

 

[skytoucher]

This was a very cheap and easy ad to produce for what they got out if it.

I like the ad, it's simple and to the point. It goes after the media as much as the other candidates. It makes the point the Ron Paul is the only one serious about saving our country.

It will resonate with a lot of people.

Every ad doesn't have to be an 'attack' ad.

 

[SCOTUSman]

No it isn't. It is Romney's campaign guy in the beginning saying Romney can turn on a dime. In fact I would have added flips by THE OTHERS to show it applies to them, too.

And the average voter knows that is romney's advisor? Sure....Never one ad by itself attacking Romney. Horrible ad period.

Although I think this is a good ad,

why are they wasting their money on ads now?
