The Momentous Passing of the Ron Paul Blimp over Northern Raleigh, North Carolina, as Viewed from Research Triangle Park, NC on Friday, December 14, 2007, at 1:00 PM.
Update: Even better.
It's really amazing what you can do if you have enough hot air, ain't it? -cp

Posted by: DaveP. at December 14, 2007 03:30 PMThat was the Ron Paul blimp? When I saw it at 12:30 or so it was directly overhead, no one could read any message, and most of the students milling around outside on a beautiful day at Raleigh Charter HS were too busy with lunch and their friends to even notice it was there. The few who did just said "Look, a blimp! Cool!". As far as they were concerned, Paul wasted his money.

Posted by: Bleepless at December 14, 2007 06:28 PMI was listening to the local radio, never heard one thing about it.
Nothing in the local media.
The few people who saw it probably thought it was there for the 'Canes game :)
Posted by: William Teach at December 14, 2007 08:24 PMAt least all of Ron Paul's hot air is containned within his blimp, and not continually flowing from his mouth, unlike that of McCain, Huckabee, Ghouliani and Romney.
Posted by: Alan at December 14, 2007 08:39 PMThe FAA said there was a blip of the screen about the size of a pimple on a knats a**, must be Ron Paul. That's the same effect he will have on the election.
Posted by: Scrapiron at December 14, 2007 08:51 PMWait, upper left corner....
yep, yep, definitely a moonbat.

Posted by: Bill Smith at December 15, 2007 07:29 AMBut where is the majestic bird painted upon it? A Ronulan bird of prey must have that for it to be official...
Yes the majestic feathers!
The fine tail!
The wattle!
Well a turkey is preyed upon, isn't it?

Posted by: Gary at December 17, 2007 07:48 AMJohn Ryan, that's for the same psychological reason that people find an accident on the freeway hard to ignore, even if it doesn't block traffic.
As for the money angle, let's not forget President Howard Dean, who revolutionized fundraising a few years back. Yeah, his money really helped him into the Oval Office, didn't it?
