Proof that the blimp isn't worth as much as ALL other forms of advertisement and canvassing (Such as Mr. Black's Videos)

Please focus your donations on things that matter and take this as a lessons learned!

agreed. 600k in ads in any other two states would have made a much better gain

The blimp was a NATIONAL phenomenon. Maybe even a national treasure.

Unless they're asking about it in the exit polls, we have no idea how many votes Ron Paul may have gained in SC as a result of the blimp. Maybe he would be behind the Ghoul without it.

The blimp has it's pros and it's cons. This is one of the cons.
I do think money could be better spent on TV ads.

Blimp has served its purpose, now its time to move forward. It got his name out there. Now its all about door to door efforts across the country. That is where our collective resources must be focused.

Yes, the blimp had a good purpose for its initial launch, but we keep supporting it like a mentally handicapped welfare child and we let our other hardworking kids starve.

Please DONATE RESPONSIBLY.

friends don't let friends waste their money on the blimp

The blimp got MSM for a while, that made it worth it. It might have reached diminishing returns at this point.

No. The blimp is not at fault for the poor showing in SC. That state is full of defense contractors. Ron Paul needs to talk about the economic benefits of bringing our troops home.

They will buy homes here and raise their kids here and spend their money here and we will still need a national defense.

People seemed to forget that NH is full of defense contractors as well.

600K in DVD's would be HUGE!

For only about a week. It became old news before the New Year.

This subforum has been dead for weeks and then as soon as the blimp gets some money everyone attacks it :mad: I'm sure it was the blimp's fault and not any Diebold easily hackable voting machines :rolleyes: I gave $5k to the blimp because I liked the idea. That money was NOT going to any other campaign item! I would have spent it on myself. The blimp got NATIONAL MSM MEDIA that helped in NV as well. The blimp earns $6.20 in media for every $1 spent.

You Johnny come latelys have no clue.

The Blimp didn't really get it's chance to be national news. flying around the SuperBowl, where politics are not the main issue, could be a good chance. Can we get there in time?

..and old people that can't see far into the sky is to blame for Florida, correct?

Let me ask you something, if SC and FL aren't smart places to put the blimp. Why was it there?
