Stream appears to be down atm. It was on before Rand entered (I assume they were testing it), then as soon as Rand entered the stream went down. I assume it will be back shortly

Edit: On now!

Edit 2: Over now (5:48 pm)

is the sound quality bad for anyone else??

[derek4ever]

Could there be a possible endorsement in the making? :D

[libertyplz]

Yes, terrible sound quality but I can make out what is being said at least


Could there be a possible endorsement in the making? :D

Their 1st question was: Why should we endorse you?

So... possibly. They are probably meeting with all the candidates

[01000110]

is the sound quality bad for anyone else??
Yes, and my stream pauses every 5 seconds or so. Could be my crummy internet.

[timosman]

is the sound quality bad for anyone else??

yup, like a bad mike

[thedizzle]

Maybe someone should turn that frickin' microphone input DOWN...

[PursuePeace]

Audio just got a bit better.

[libertyplz]

Sound quality got much better all of a sudden

[thedizzle]

maybe they heard me...?

[Kotin]

audio fixed

[libertyplz]

Hahah, Rand just said he is less likely to get the endorsement after arguing with some des moines register guy over EPA overstepping their bounds and wetlands classification

I can see these buggers backing Rubio, Jeb or Christie! Say, didn't McCain get their love in 2008?? :rolleyes:

[Paulite]

Des moines register will only endorse establishment

[thedizzle]

Rand should drop the Montesquieu reference and the turtlenecks. That stuff is way too high brow in a Republican primary.

Another suggestion - That confiscating gun analogy... "If there were gun confiscation, I'd follow the law and turn in my shotgun. The criminals won't turn in theirs."

He needs to let that one go. No one is going to turn in their guns. Not even Rand.

Don't know if you guys are down for this, but interacting with them on twitter might not be such a bad idea. Either favoriting their tweets, retweeting them, or tweeting at them saying how you agree with what Rand is saying.

Well, it happened during Katrina.
