It's really amazing what you can do if you have enough hot air, ain't it? -cp

That 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.

I 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

At 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.

The 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.

Stealth blimp to match the stealth missiles that really hit the Pentagon. Or is the current thinking it was a fully loaded B-52?

But 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?

They must have their Ronulan cloaking device turned on.

He is raking in the money and Republicans seem to be really upset with him, they certainly find his campaign impossible to ignore.

And by "impossible to ignore" we mean constantly point and laugh.

John 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?
