Ron Paul's blimp is back!

After trolling the skies in Myrtle Beach, the blimp touting Republican candidate can be seen downtown this afternoon.

Paul, a longshot in South Carolina, hasn't visited much in Columbia, but his blimp is a conversation starter. See how the blimp takes off in this video shot by our sister paper, The Sun News, in Myrtle Beach.

Millions of dollars in record setting fundraising and all he buys is a blimp? Did anyone tell him that this isn't peak season and the beaches are empty?

No wonder no one takes him seriously.

wtf- From what I understand, the blimp is a grassroots effort unaffiliated with the campaign. www.ronpaulblimp.com

A bunch of hot air? Of course, it must be a GOP grassroots group.

THE COUNTRIES DEMOGRAPHICS DONOT SUPPORT THE ELECTION OF EITHER OBAMA OR HILLARY, PAST THE NOMINATION...I BELIEVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY JEOPARDIZED THERE ONLY CHANCE OF WINNING IN NOV BY NOT RUNNING FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE, GOV EVAN BYAH OR SEN JOHN EDWARDS...I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL MISTAKES OF THE 2008 ELECTION IN HINDSIGHT. WHOEVER THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE IS WILL PROBALY BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT @JOHN MCCAIN.

[wtf]

First it's country's (possessive) not countries (plural) I don't think anyone cares about the demographics of other countries (see it's not that hard)

Second, it's "their" (possessive) not "there" (place).

Finally, if you want people to take your posts seriously, stop the copy-paste routine and loose the CAPS. You loose all hope of credibility by such practices.

I supported Ron Paul at the beginning, but now only Huckabee has the chance to win as a true conservative.

Like Paul, he will help to free us from heavy taxes. Like Paul, he is pro-life and pro-family.

Huckabee is also anti-globalist, and will NOT merge our nation into a North American Union!

Huckabee is the only clear choice left for conservative Republicans!

Rubystar,

I agree there is much to like about Huckabee, Romney, a few of these pro-life, pro-family types.

But all of them are buying into anti-life, anti-Arab propaganda that will continue our wars of aggression, kill many of our 'best and brightest' sons and daughters (not to mention all the innocent 'collateral damage' caught in the crossfire), promote terrorism, and surely end your dream of lower taxes as we continue to fund this crazy militant empire with the new Bush doctrine of pre-emption.

Please don't abandon support for Paul.

Only Paul supports life and liberty for all, an end to our unconstitutional military adventures, and a viable approach to improving the economy and America's image worldwide.

Boy are you screw up, the dude just told you the Bimp is not part of the Offical Paul Revolution Campaign.

Another outrageous outbreak like that from you and we will bomb your house with 10 million phony anti-McCain smear sheets!

Now shape up and blow more hot air into the Bimp?

America will remember forever if they do not take the serious warnings of Ron Paul seriously or look into doing something about the future of their country. This link shows the sham recount in New Hampshire. The other BlackBox video in the youtube menu will show you have the voting machines have been repeatedly manipulated if you watch "Hacking Democracy". Good luck on the next dictator if we are not fortunate enough to have a man like Dr Paul as our President.
