The "Aqua budda" ad is silly - the other ads quoting Rand Paul directly and showing him speaking his policies, then having people, law enforcement comment on those policies are much more effective.
But it apparently hit the nerve, because Paul staged (and I do mean "staged") his huffing and puffing and insult last night at the debate (refusing to shake Conway's hand, falsely saying Conway attacked his religion, etc) and immediately at the debate end had in the can and released a TV ad attacking Conway for "attacking his religion" (not really true) - and Paul right now is still threating he might be a no-show for this next debate.
In the last 24 hours, Rand Paul has turned into a complaining, childish whiner, the poor picked upon sufferer. For a guy who says wants to talk only about the issues, he's sure pushing religion right to the forefront. I see the panicky move of a guy who thinks he's in trouble. He must have seen Conways increasing poll numbers of the past two weeks (although Conway is still about 7 down, I think)
If Paul doesn't show at this next debate, he's toast.
But all Rand Pauls crying has taken the emphasis off his extreme positions on education, drugs & criminal penalties, etc. Oh, yeah, and his homophobia. Those ads are very effective, and have been increasing Conways numbers. Good jub, Rand
