Where did the money go? I do not see any TV ads in Los Angeles area. I don't hear from the radio because I'm deaf. I saw some from Clinton and Romney. Or did they spend the money for ads after Super Tuesday? Can anyone fill me in? Thanks.
 
He don´t have much. He is intelligent and spend is visely, so he can stay in the race.
And America is big, almost a continent.
 
I'm in Florida. I NEVER saw a single TV ad. I think I may have heard one radio ad.


It's pretty pathetic. We could have made a much better impact if the Campaign hadn't have sucked so bad.

Florida was winner take all. We couldant have one so there was no reason to spend a ton of money down there.
 
Ron Paul took it all.. and bought gold with it....... muahahahahahha.....
evil schemes.

or... my guess is actually that it takes a lot of money to run a campaign when you don't have he media giving you 'free' exposure.

So WHERE exactly did Paul spend money in? Since we've had such fantastic results elsewhere.
 
It's all enumerated in the FEC report, which has been posted here a number of times. The forum Search function is your friend. So is Google.
 
First where Giuliani's money go! 45 millions for ONE delegate!

Hillary and Obama BOTH have spent over $100,000,000. Compare that with 8 mil for Huck. That's a success story.

Clue to Huck's success: Ed Rollins. Ron Paul turned him down.

Ed ran Perot campain for a while. He shot up and Perot let him go.

People never learn.

So, the HQ spent over $3 million for radio and $2 million for TV ads? I don't know if they should have done more or not. Of course, I don't want to run out all of the funds and use the money wisely for a long haul.
 
Yeah its hard to decide what to spend money on when its such a long and hard fight
