North Carolina Politicians Pissed-Off for Not Being Invited to Launch!

Mayor Steve Atkinson will be there, so that's the great news. If there was time, I'd send a limo to pick him up. There's just not enough time to make these kind of arrangements. Blimp is flying in the morning! I just hope everything goes well.

I hope there really is a blimp launch there for Mayor Steve to see.
 
According to the person giving up updates, McKarnin, the decision is based on maximizing exposure at this critical time.

Dude, a lot of people have traveled across several states to attend this launch.
 
The blimp launch has nothing to do with who will attend. It's all about the weather!

There are a thousand things to consider and I don't have all the information. The weather up here in New England is really bad! Snow and dark skies. Seems like it won't clear up till early Monday morning. Not good for the blimp. But I can assure you our Tea Party will be a huge fund raising day for Dr. Paul. And the blimp will be flying on that day!

The launch of the Ron Paul Blimp will be determined by weather conditions in North Carolina and nothing more.

Almost like a NASA shuttle launch. High winds and your grounded till it clears up.

If thats true then why not keep the blimp in the hanger a extra few days and get the second banner on. Then the blimp will be ready to leave as soon as the weather lets up. This will also eliminate any problems later trying to get the second banner on.
 
If the blimp does not take off tomorrow morning, then it will miss the window and could be grounded for a week. There predicting high winds all next week. This is just from what I had heard here on the Ron Paul Forum.
