The New Revolution PAC, an entity supporting the Ron Paul presidential campaign, is raising money to run an unconventional 2-minute ad in early primary states. Aimed squarely at neutralizing the ‘racist newsletter’ controversy, the spot features the story of an African-American patient whose wife had a stillborn baby that Dr. Paul delivered. Apparently, Paul covered the man’s hospital bill and treated him despite some supposedly racial tension with the nurses on duty.
How much of the story is true and accurate and how much is a blend of fact and pleasant fiction is unclear, but I think if you watch this ad you’ll realize how powerful it could be. If they manage to get meaningful television exposure with this ad, I think Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucus.
What say you? Watch the ad and comment below…
