Have to remember where they made their money. It was not from TV it was from internet. That is the market they know well and that is why they probably have been slow to leap to TV advertising which they probably do not understand as well.

Unfortunately, Ron is already president of the internet. it is in trw where he needs promotion.

Endorse Liberty has probably been the most wasteful of the pro-Paul Super PACs... It's a shame really.

whose money is it again?

I think they don't know everything we know about where Ron Paul is and isn't covered, but they might be spending where they have discounts/accounts already, too.

(Reuters) - Co-founders of online U.S. payment service PayPal, now owned by eBay Inc, donated to the Super PAC funding group supporting Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, the group Endorse Liberty disclosed on Tuesday.

PayPal co-founders Peter Thiel and Luke Nosek and Scott Banister, an early adviser and board member, put their support behind the Endorse Liberty Super PAC, alongside Internet advertising veteran Stephen Oskoui and entrepreneur Jeffrey Harmon, who founded Endorse Liberty in November.

Texas congressman Ron Paul, a libertarian, has been an unconventional candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, advocating an isolationist brand of foreign policy and a $1 trillion cut in the U.S. government's budget.

"Too often in this country we learn things the hard way ... With its unsustainable deficits, government spending is heading down the same path. Men and women who want freedom and growth should take action. A good place to start is voting for Ron Paul," Thiel said in a statement.

Well, well, well...
 
From what I've read, they were using Florida to test the best methods get to word out. The infomercial was one of those tests. I'm expecting that there is a lot more coming after Florida. Will be interesting to see ...
 
Wtf isolationist brand of foreign policy??? The dang editor had to insert a freaking jab in there didn't they... im sure Peter Thiel didn't say that.
 
i dont mind a PayPal founder donating to the cause. Paypal offers a nice service and hasnt really screwed anyone over.

Who said it's 'all'? They're extremely rich. Just because they spent 1.4 million in Florida does not mean they can't spend plenty elsewhere.

Odds are, for most people, if you spend $5 on dinner, you're still able to buy dinner for the rest of the month.

1.4M is like half what they raised, according to the article.
