This is the Ron Paul netroots campaign boiled down to its essence:

I love how 2/3 of the video is an homage to the endless Enterprise fly-bys in The Motionless Picture.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me what Paul is doing with his tremendous sacks of money.

(I'd ask about campaign finance laws too, but realistically, the Paul camp's response on that would be '1st amendment! 1st amendment!' and the pro-regulation camp has made such a cluster-fuck of actually implementing the regulations that no violation will be caught until it is way too late anyway.)

Luis, I have no idea what Paul is going to do with his millions. Presumably a lot of TV ads are in the offing, but I wouldn't be surprised if his campaign doesn't know either.

On the subject of campaign finance, I would be curious what you think about the McConnell decision. The '1st amendment! 1st amendment!' argument may be oversimplified, but I think it gets the basic constitutional issue right. The ACLU, incidentally, agrees with me.
