New Ron Paul TV Ad Compares Rick Santorum To Sasquatch

New Ron Paul TV Ad Compares Rick Santorum To Sasquatch

"Is this dude serious?"

In what could potentially be a big boon to Mitt Romney, Ron Paul is up in Michigan with a scorching new ad attacking Rick Santorum's purported fiscal conservatism. The closing scene tells the story: "Rick Santorum a fiscal conservative?" the narrator says before an image of Big Foot fills the screen. "Fake."

James Hohmann reports the Paul buy is "low six-figures" in Michigan, but is part "of a multi-ad plan that the Texas congressman is rolling out for Super Tuesday" on March 6.

Romney and Santorum are locked in close combat in Michigan, with Romney attempting to win his home state over Santorum by attacking his fiscal record. The Paul ad is a pretty succinct summary of the Romney message.

Watch the spot:

Why do I get the feeling that Ron Paul is always running interference for Romney?
