Jesse Ventura: “Clint Eastwood Only Got It Half Right!”

By Jordan Willow Evans on October 4, 2012 11:25 AM

Libertarian Action SuperPAC ad starring Jesse Ventura on behalf of Gary Johnson. It’s standard TV commercial length, but no word yet on whether or where it will air other than online. They are seeking donations to air it commercially.

If we raise at least $3,000, we will spend the money on TV ads.

More details at the link above; here’s the ad:

    I see several people suggested that.

    Anyone can run ads on local cable or network. Just get them to subtitle it was paid for by you to keep it FEC legal! You can buy some package deals that will get your ad on in primetime for less than $10 a ad and they repeat them on late night (early morning) for free. Cable companies will work with you. The recession hurts them just like everyone and they need business so they are cutting deals.

    Great ad, hope the money comes in.

    From the funding link:

    NOTE: If the total amount raised for this TV ad project is less than $3,000, then we will cancel this project and spend the money on something else. If we raise at least $3,000, we will spend the money on TV ads.

    You can contribute as much as you want to Libertarian Action Super PAC. There is no limit.

    We will choose the location where to run the ads. We will try to be strategic with our choices. In addition to our goal of introducing more voters to Gary Johnson, these are some things we might consider:

    * We might target a swing state and a non-swing state, to see how our results compare.
    * We might target states where the presidential vote might help retain ballot access.

    Over 90% of your donation will go directly to the TV commercial vendors. (We have to pay credit card fees and cover some administration.)

    If you would like to target something on a smaller scale than this TV commercial offer, you might try ordering some of our door hangers or contributing to our robocall fund.

    Feel free to contact Wes Benedict at 512-659-8896 to discuss donations of $5,000 or more.

    The “mad scientist” ad is an unrelated SuperPAC.

    Ventura nailed it.

    I like this ad a lot better than the other one they are using. The “mad scientists” speak too fast, and will be too difficult for most of the general public to understand.

    Ventura’s ad is clean and to the point. It should resonate — assuming they raise money to run it.
