I don't see how this will get more votes.

Instead of a blimp I'd recommend advertising on the back of long-haul truckers 18-wheelers. Instead of spending a lot of money for a single blimp that could be grounded due to strong winds, you could put that money towards signage on thousands of big rigs that are crisscrossing the country on a daily basis. The amount of eyeballs that would see those would probably be on an order of magnitude greater than the blimp. Imagine being stuck in traffic behind a big rig like this:
On the door is a big photo of Rand with his campaign website in big letters along with a couple of his positions.
Just saying.

Can you think of a bigger waste of money?
Aside from maybe two blimps?

It was a waste of money last time. It barely got any physical exposure due to the routes, time of year, etc... The only reason it was partially sucessful was due to the media exposure because it was unique and interesting. Nobody else had done it.
It's been done.
NO.

I really don't think it was a waste. Given the cost of media exposure, the amount it got, on top of the exposure it had as an ad unto itself, turned out to be a decent investment.

I.. actually like this. Also puts an emphasis on commerce/trade, and lots of it.

No blimps.
But this is a good idea:
What's the cost of something like that?

I like the Tractor Trailer idea, but I was thinking of something somewhat related to a blimp. What if someone could rent a plane/helicopter, then you make a bunch of like "rand bombs" which are like mini containers with parachutes. You could print up some stickers, info business cards, campaign buttons, pens/pencils and a flyer. Then you could drop these over places with a lot of people (parks, marinas, etc) These would give people some info and be memorable.
Resources
Rand Flyer: It is on rands page under volunteer, I cant post links yet
Info Cards: Vistaprint
Stickers: Printrunner
Idk about campaign buttons or pens/pencils?

Blimp is a great idea - Rand should have an even larger "Goodyear-sized" zeppelin over college football stadiums . . .

fwiw, ad campaigns certainly NEVER use a micro-blimp . . .
