What "should" be the final USA today ad

[dircha]

I believe the alternate version is superior. Our number one hurdle to overcome is name recognition. It's important that his name and picture figure prominently.

But what's done is done.

We should be very grateful to the organizer and all who have donated to make the ad that is running possible.

I like the distribution better, but having "Ron Paul for President" both as the header, and at the bottom is redundant and seems amateur.

I liked the "Open letter ..." header better. (say that five times)

I liked the "Open letter ..." header better
I liked the "Open letter ..." header better
I liked the "Open letter ..." header better
I liked the "Open letter ..." header better
I liked the "Open letter ..." header better

In all seriousness, I do like the "Open letter..." better. And I don't like the placement of the founders in this ad. You could argue that it is just as much "tombstone" shaped as the original one. The original had better spacing at the top.

That said, one thing I like is the larger image of Dr. Paul. The information in a single collumn on the right looks a little cleaner, but maybe takes away from the central message, the "open letter".
