Why Havent I seen a RP Commercial ??

[blakjak]

I don't understand? McCain only has $2 Million on hand while Dr. Paul has $8 Million+ and yet I've seen like 5 McCain commercials here in California and none for Dr. Paul. I've also seen many for Romney but he has his own wealth to take care of him...

McCain raised $7 million in the first three weeks of the year.

 

[blakjak]

Campaign dollars aren't limitless and the $8.4 million that HQ asked for BY FEB 5TH hasn't come in. We're only at $5.2 million.

Also the $23 million he asked for to run national ads never came either.

 

[Jae0]

Yes. I'd say that we let him down mroe than he's let us down.

just saw the patriots for ron paul ad again. this time on the history channel.

What most of you don't realize is that the campaign is NOT rolling in money. Ron's donations for this quarter are minimal and he was only carrying over about 7 million from the successful last quarter. He has added a lot of staff and opened headquarters in the remaining states...all at great cost. THE MONEY IS EITHER SPENT OR ALREADY DESIGNATED AND THERE IS PRECIOUS LITTLE LEFT TO DO SATURATION ADVERTISING !!

Did I shout that loud enough. Every time I get in the forums, someone wants a 2.7 million super bowl add or complains about no ads in their locale or state. Ron is running a barebones campaign and is not getting federal matching funds like the rest.

If we pick up enough delegates, and McCain and Romney split the vote enough to force a brokered convention then we have a fighting chance.

What did I say? RP needs 300+ solid delegates after tomorrow. Otherwise, he is a protest candidate and not really competing. Right now, it looks like he just nipping at Romney....and he isn't competing with McCain at all.

Ron Paul has raised wayy more money than Huck. He should have wayy more commercials up. What Huck didn't do is open all of these stupid field offices and hired a real campaign manager.

THEN WHERE ARE THE ADS DONE BY GRASSROOTS? are ANY of them out there?

 

[roshi]

Didn't see any TV ads here in New York. Admittedly, it's not a good state for him to compete in, but how the hell do McCain and Huckabee have the cash to run ads here when Dr. Paul has so much more money.

McCain's staff has outside jobs through special interests that pay them 100k / year. Thus, he doesn't have to pay for his stuff, he just has to pay for ads and supplies.

Crazy stuff.

While the others will go into debt spending spending spending ron paul is just conserving the money.Its just the kinda man he is.Its a good outlook on what the other 3 would do to are country,spend us into more debt. Ron paul knows how to manage money and conserve it,like he would do for our country,he just the old fashion type,and is very clever.Ron paul is the type of person that can make 1dollar go along way lol

For u gaming type,ron paul is a long range sniper, while huckleberry moron and sarge spray 400 rounds and hit nothing,ron paul waits and waits,and waits some more then takes them all out with 1 shot... ok i think i have said enough lol

But saying all of this,i admit i would like to see more tv ads.

 

[JeffSchulman]

Giuliani should have stayed in the race thru today to split the McPain vote.

 

[Gadsdenfly]

Friend in Colorado says he has not heard or seen any Ron Paul ads. He has seen Romney ads and Huck on national TV (MSNBC)

I heard RP ad in San Francisco KGO radio

Seems pretty sparse compared to other candidates from what I gather

 

[coffeewithchess]

Yea, I'm still trying to figure out where $17million was spent and why nobody has stepped down or been fired...

does anything else ever come out of your mouth?

 

[angrydragon]

I've seen Obama, Clinton and Romney ads on over the air tv.

I've heard Obama ads on the radio, music stations and talk.

This was in LA, OC, California.

 

[hvac ak47]

I have not seen any Paul ads in Maryland.

I have seen ads for every other candidate, even Huckabees abolish the IRS ad.

 

[CapitalistRadical]

I think he should be spending more now, in order to gain momentum and presence, which will incite more money in following months. If the base contributes and feels like there's enough money on hand in the bank account, or it is simply never going to be spent, then enthusiasm and contributions will dry up.

Super Tuesday includes California and New York, a huge number of delegates. Can anybody lose Super Tuesday and win?
