As far as I'm aware, the Rand Paul campaign hasn't aired any during the last couple months unlike almost every other serious contender, which is a major disadvantage. The only reason I can proffer is that this is due to lack of campaign funds, which is really quite sad. For a reminder.. these are some of the ads the Ron Paul Campaign ran in 2012 that are still up on the campaigns youtube channel.
