Ron Paul blimp needs $70000 by tomorrow!

I just bought some more time...

I just bought some more time...

Every place the blimp has spent time it will have boosted Ron Paul's name recognition. All the coverage worth talking about is LOCAL, so if you're not in Florida, South Carolina, or other place the blimp has visited, and you've not been reading the blimp blog on a regular basis, you can't know the high degree of success they've been having.

Since primaries will continue for months ahead, there are many people who are not yet thinking of politics and still need to be reached.

The blimp and other name recognition strategies plow the field, canvassing and issue ads plant the seeds, and GOTV brings in the harvest. All are still needed.

For Liberty!

A candidate blimp game that the blimp company posted a link to earlier, which was made by a TV station in SC, doesn't even have Ron Paul as one of the candidates you can fly a blimp for.
 
Blimp is a waste of money. More than half a million dollars spent. Imagine how many newspaper ads, canavssing materials, and TV commercials this could have bought.
 
I donated to the blimp, but it's time has come and gone. I think in hindsight it has not paid off, and we would have been better running powerful grassroots TV spots instead. I hope the remainder of the money is spent to actually get Ron's message out.
 
Here is the total that Ron Paul's campaign has raised since New Years as of this moment:

$870,000. That isn't much right now :(

We'll keep the blimp flying for the full number of days it is funded for when/if the owner removes the option of renewing our contract. So if we have 3 days worth of money we will fly for 3 days.

What is going on with the salaries for the blimp people?
 
Is the blimp attracting any new supporters? :) Anyone here that found out about Ron Paul because of the blimp?

I agree, and think people are stuck on this and don't want to let it go. People need to see and hear RP talk about his message and stances, and TV ads, etc reach TONS and TONS of people.

So, a small amount of media coverage on the blimp, but RP not talking to the people, etc. Does anyone seriously think the blimp is going to bring in votes compared to tons of TV ads, radio, and newspaper ads, etc.? Sorry, but logical thinking seems to have been thrown out the window.

People need to see him and know what he stands for!!!!! People have their TVs on all the time, their not driving around looking for a blimp!
 
The blimp is completely worth it. Not many people go home and google a politician's name because they saw a sign out there, they all expect the same.

With the blimp, however, this is totally different. People are excited when they see it.

While that's a nice video, I have seen zero evidence of the blimp doing anything. We were told there were going to be videos galore, using GPS to track it, rallies, buzzing Rudy's events, etc. I gave money to the thing and haven't seen any results, pretty much at all, other than a very blurry videos of people zooming in with their video cameras from the road two miles away from the thing.

Great idea, it made headlines, now let's move on to the next great thing.

Didn't change my opinion one bit, the blimp is not the same as seeing and hearing RP talking about his message!! Which in that interview all that was talked about was the blimp, whooopeeee!!

Too much emphasis was put towards spreading his message online, and now the same is going for the blimp. SEEING AND HEARING RP DIRECTLY IS PARAMOUNT.
 
Blimp Banner No Longer on Many Top RP Websites!!!

Surfing thru http://www.topronpaulsites.com I noticed that the Ron Paul Blimp Banner is displayed on only a precious few.

If this is any indication of the RP Grassroots sentiment on the Blimp's fate my guess is she will be deflated next week and Rest In Peace in her hangar for the rest of the winter.

But, stranger things have happened. Maybe, that new RP billionaire supporter everyone is discussing in other posts will float to the rescue?

Probably not, anyway thank you to everyone who was involved in the RonPal Blimp. I enjoyed following your exploits....
 
$70,000 will pay for at least 1300 30 second TV spots in SC!!!! Or a few days of flying over cornfields and some local news station running a 1 minute report between the old lady who lost her can and a crack bust.

I'll take the 1300 TV spots so people can hear the message, thank you.

are those numbers legit?
 
I'd MUCH rather to have the money go to the Blimp operator, a Ron Paul supporter himself, and his crew than any MSM media.
