Blimpin to Victory

The Blimp is waaaay ahead on media generated for the comparatively small sum it cost.

Blimp on, to victory!

The blimp is one of the most effective tools the grassroots has in getting Ron Paul's NAME out in front of the public. Bar none. Money bombs, operation this and that...whatever. The media can't hide the blimp, but lack of financial support CAN.

Ditto. BUMP

Again, the problem is that that money would've gotten more votes if spent on traditional media. That is intuitive marketing. I could guarantee a win in TN with the money that was spent on the blimp.

Matt, I think you are seriously underestimating the earned media that the blimp has generated across the USA.

Blimp!

Blimp!

Moving south was a SMART move...it is positioned to raise public awareness of Ron Paul in the sunny south, especially in states like South Carolina and Florida; where primaries are looming...donate today...keep her flying!!!

PERHAPS. But earned media does not = votes whereas paid for media can = votes (if done properly).

I totally disagree. Earned media is more effective because it is the program not the ad spaces in between. People don't tend to fast forward their Tivo through it or go to the bathroom during it like they do with political commercials. Also, it's a blimp, not Huck kissing a baby or something boring like that.

But you can control paid media and it is absolutely effective.

The blimp reaches out to people that don't watch TV, and that's a sh!t load of people.

Why anyone would ever open a piece of political mail is beyond me.

Very true, but you have to realize that less than 15% of REGISTERED voters actually vote in the primaries. Therefore targeting a general audience is not as efficient as targeting voters or supervoters.

That is why shredders were invented.
