Should Ron Paul have an infomercial type 30 minute presentation made by veterans explaining their positions on the wars?

Veterans and military understand Ron Paul. And Ron Paul understands them.

Most people who aren't

Most people who aren't already supporters aren't going to watch for 30 minutes. From a marketing perspective today's attention span is much less, average of 9 seconds. If you want to sell something you have to do it quickly.

very much so

This is one of the biggest stories of the entire election cycle. The Endorse Liberty infomercial is good, and I'm glad they're running it, but IMO there is a more powerful video still to be made. I'd love to see a professionally produced video which just focuses in on the troops and their support for Doc. The videos in the existing infomercial are all over the place; there's no consistency in them. This gives them a feeling of ragtag authenticity, which is powerful in one way but... well, Republicans like things to be "presentable", and that collection of excerpts isn't so good on that scale. A pro crew with a moderate budget could really make something spiffy!

I hate sounding negative; the efforts made are wonderful and I'm 100% in favor of them. I just still visualize something much more polished which would have greater impact among the core audience we MUST reach.

You beat me to it...(the video shortcut)
It is a very good update to the previous:
"Urgent Message from the Troops".
I can still remember the H.Ross Perot "Infomercials" that were run during "that" campaign.

They were a turning point in my support for a "real" candidate, along with his debate on the Larry King Show versus Al Gore...a REAL EYE-OPENER.

Perot was another "prophet", a regular "John the Baptist", who , as it turned out, would herald the coming demise of our Fiscal System....they ridiculed him also.
