Ron Paul Has a Blimp

Reuters reports:

Supporters of
Presidential candidate Ron Paul are excited to announce the launch of their
very own privately funded Ron Paul blimp. In less than a month the idea has
gone from a wishful post on a website to a full-blown and flying reality.
Launch date is set for the morning of December 11th from Elizabeth City,
NC where the blimp will then fly north to New Hampshire with stops in
Washington D.C., New York City and Boston. The blimp will be met at each stop
by thousands of Ron Paul supporters who will come to cheer it on as it
continues its journey while passing over stadiums, parks, highways and
anywhere else people gather.
This is a historic event as no other candidate has ever had their own
blimp, let alone one initiated by and paid for by their supporters. Paulites,
as they are known, have pledged to donate over $420,000 to fund the blimp for
as long as it is needed.
The blimp measures 197 feet long and over 66 feet high, making it one of
the largest airships in the world. Along with two pilots the blimp comes with
a ground crew of 15-20 that travel with the blimp and assist with landing and
takeoffs. The gondola seats 12 passengers, plus the pilots. These seats will
be made available to supporters, veterans, charities, dignitaries and the
media.
The Ron Paul blimp plans to be in Boston for the anniversary of the Boston
Tea Party on December 16th where it will join supporters on the ground who
will be protesting the high level of taxation we experience. Weather
permitting, plans have it in New Hampshire for as long as possible up until
the New Hampshire primary at which point it will fly south to South Carolina
and Florida.
The project is being organized by Liberty Political Advertising, LLC,
whose principals include Trevor Lyman. Lyman gained fame for orchestrating the
November 5th online "money bomb" fundraising event which raised over $4.2
million in one day for the Paul campaign, breaking numerous campaign records.
The Boston Tea Party Event also coincides with Lyman's next "money bomb"
donation day which is expected to surpass the November 5th mark.
Trevor Lyman is available for interviews and there are a limited number of
spaces available on the Ron Paul blimp for media.

No word yet from supporters of McCain-Feingold on this one.
