Favorable interview??? How can people grumble about a one hour RP interview on prime time cable TV? Once this is replayed at 9 EST, it's really two hours of prime time cable. What would satisfy all ya'll? You complain about not mentioning the FBI. You can't speak about everything so one has...

Ron Paul's a nut case??? The last thread in this posting says Ron Paul is a nut case. Since this TV station's coverage area includes NW Iowa, one might want to take a second to defend our man in this important dispute. JN

The following influential blog is debating the merits of Ron Paul and his foreign policies. http://blogs.keloland.com/blog/index.cfm?commentID=777 We need people to weigh in immediately! JN

Presidential politics I'm fine with whatever message is put on the blimp. But I'd disagree with the inclusion of 'for President' to turn people off. Yes, that would turn people off through most mediums. But this blimp-advertising is so novel, I'd doubt anyone would care. And people, why...

One more time.... I'll ask one more time... Would anyone be interested in picketing CNN in response to their purposeful manipulation of the election? I need to know if anyone is interested at the earliest possible time.

As a country, we should expect more from our news media. Specifically, we should expect more from CNN. They're an outrage. They need negative reinforcement for their handling of the political race. Would anyone join me in a picket line outside CNN? And what would be any downstream effects...

East Coast I'm now on board for keying on the east coast, but not for any of the previously stated reasons. Unfortunately, I believe Huckabee will be the big news out of Iowa. Before the debate, the Iowa fight was shaping up to be Huckabee vs. Romney. After tonight's debate, I think Huckabee...

MSM on our side? Forgive me, but I'm unable to see any historical precedent which would make me believe the MSM would be on our side to promote this project. This should be especially transparent after tonight's debate and wrap-up. Additionally, a political blimp will be unlikely to get...

Msm I agree with everyone that believes there is no basis to believe Ron Paul will ever get a fair shake in the MSM. I know someone that works at the CNN newsdesk and she once stated that CNN is a mouthpiece for the administration. And that those that think it can't be 'just don't get it'...

Oops. The SkySpot advertising link Whoops. I botched adding the SkySpot link to the previous message.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2JIt88ieu8

SkySpot Advertising? Perhaps a good compromise would be not having the Blimp go to Iowa but having a SkySpot advertising plane hit Iowa instead? This would obviously expand the scope of the project. We'd have to locate a SkySpot advertiser that could hit Iowa. I could look into this in two...

Boston Tea Party I'm very hesitant to believe the Boston tea party anniversary will get significant TV coverage. Has anyone ever seen any TV coverage of this anniversary? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, I totally don't believe the blimp would be in the background for any Times Square...

Maybe you're right I don't know. Maybe getting to Iowa isn't worth the cost. Ideally, I hope we could raise enough for multiple months. I hope multiple people can weigh in. IMHO, the blimp offers the best form of advertising for the money. Booyah to Trevor/whomever for dreaming this up.

Proposed Blimp route The following blimp route would span 23 states, be entirely over interstates, hit many major metro areas and would hit the homebases of all major news networks. And this route would take 20 of the 30 days, so we'd have 8-10 days left to spend hovering over the places of...

More thoughts I think everyone can agree that a primary goal of this project is to gain media exposure. It's my feeling that a strong Iowa Ron Paul showing will net 20 times the exposure than any other coverage will. I think we should specifically discuss... 1. What is the true value of...
