LOL if you don't think there is a difference between an ad approved by a campaign and a homemade ad uploaded to youtube.... you said, "Now that's a great way to endear yourself to the Republican Party." I don't think the party gives a crap about some guy making videos on youtube and it would be stupid to hold Paul responsible for what others did independently.
Is that a homemade video uploaded from youtube? I thought it was an ad run by some interest group. If it is an ad run by an interest group, then in the public's view there is no difference between that and an ad run by the candidate himself.
Remember Willie Horton? That ad wasn't run by Bush Sr.
