A blimp featuring a picture of a smiling Mitt Romney had to make an emergency landing. 'Romney' blimp loses altitude

His supporters may point to his soaring in the polls lately, but Mitt Romney fell flat Sunday in Florida.

A blimp-like object with the former governor’s smiling face displayed prominently on its side made an emergency landing in Broward County after it drifted away from Boca Raton, the Miami Herald reported. The aircraft was pointed east at full throttle, but winds pushed it west toward an abandoned housing development, where the blimp eventually deflated, according to the Herald.


Nobody was injured, police said. A campaign official told National Journal the Romney camp did not organize the event.
