Ron Paul on the Air

Rep. Ron Paul's $1.1 million New Hampshire ad buy is kicking off with this ad, "Catching On," and it's already being blasted by YouTube commenters:

OMG! Common' guys! This is a terrible ad! My goodness. The Ron Paul revolution means a lot more than this. We will lost for sure if this ad is used…Stop, stop, stop!!! AHH!
…
I got nothin but love for Ron Paul, but this is pretty bad.
…
I'd be really pissed if I had donated money for this ad. It really is a waste.
…
I, like a lot of other people, have worked my ass off day and night for months just to get this guy some extra money - and if this is how he intends to use it then I honestly feel like I've wasted my time.

The production quality is better (and less 1982-ish) than that of Paul's first ad, but the stilted acting gives it a Waiting for Guffman feel. The YouTube reaction reminds me of the angry pushback when Howard Dean used $1.4 million of last-minute donations for the Wisconsin primary on the half-baked "switch" ads.
