*Only* 710 people need to give $10 to raise the money to keep the blimp flying another 2.5 weeks. That seems well worth it to me, and I'm willing to donate ten dollars. It just generated publicity in Houston on the front page where it isn't even flying. Furthermore, it will be a little disappointing to have it end on New Years Eve. It may even generated some bad publicity if it fails right before the Iowa caucus. In fact, it seems to me it would be fun to donate to it on New Years Eve.

New Year's Eve, a blimp, and a toast!

Seems well worth it. Only 710 people need to donate $10!

But don't donate this, even though it has a Ron Paul Blimp on it :D

FYI: I just played this tonight :)

Okay, I've thought the blimp was insane from day one, but since

1) They're going to be flying over the Giants game next week. and
2) I've had too much cheap champagne

I'll kick in a donation.

Done- but the blimp counter didn't change- is there a delay?

Guys,

Would it be illegal for foreigners to buy time for the Blimp?

Obviously since you have to confirm to be an USC.
