One reason to vote for Ron Paul

The coolest ad of the campaign season so far goes to one of the oddest candidates.

This CGI extravaganza from Ron Paul is compelling in a way that none of the hackneyed 3am ads has managed to come close to. Strategists should sit up and take note. Ron Paul for Creative Director!

(And yes, he is still in the race.)

wow. i hadnt even heard of Ron paul! Its a powerful message and am also surprised like stepen Adenaike, wonder why it hasnt had wider coverage.

it hasnt had wider coverage because the american media preferred stephen colbert's presidential campaign to ron paul's.

Great ad! And the message isn't bad either.

Every Ron Paul supporter should forward this clip to their local TV stations! American's really do want a patriot for 'balanced and fair' representation! We want our country, our civil liberties and our hope back!

People are listening but not hearing anything that has them get up and shout about - We are mad as hell and don't want to take it anymore! We want our country, our civil liberties and our pride back.

Terence Bradley must have been asleep for the last year or so. Lot's of people have heard of Ron Paul, they just wouldn't vote for him. That is why he has pretty much dropped from the scene.
