Superbowl RonPaul Ad (Grassroot Survey)

[Rhys]

It won't be $2.7 mil...these are individual commercial purchases in local markets where we'll target Super Tuesday states or others with nearby primaries.

we could do multiple runs in simultaneous markets for the same price... i'm just sayin. I'm on board with doing that, but i'm not with a super bowl ad. they're frivolous and they can sink any ad campaign if taken poorly. if you pull it off kudos... but don't pick the first youtube you come across and consider the ramifications of what you're doing both with distraction, funneling of funds, and danger of having a vinegar reaction during football to someone saying political stuff. It would have to be a sports inspired underdog/contest ad of sorts.

Other candidates are running ads. We'll be careful in selecting ours.

I saw it mentioned on TV where the other candidates are considering spending 2.7 million for 30 second ads, but I believe this would be your large scale...

I did not realize there were spaces in local/regional markets for ads other than the ones FOX will be running? How is this done? As I understood it only National level ads will be run during that time slot? And most of these are already purchased by companies with big planning and big money. I'm confused...
