Jesus! Look at that crowd!

[rockfree33]

Simply awesome.

[angelatc]

Very cool!!! THanks!!!

[ronpaulitician]

Thanks! Watching :)

Go justin.tv!

[MusoSpuso]

that crowd is...amazing. Large AND loud!

[torchbearer]

And Gallup says he has 0% in the poll?

[torchbearer]

this videographer needs to hold the camera steady... the low framerate makes the video a blurr.

[wolv275]

agreed she needs to be a better camera woman, but in any case im amazed we can watch this live. awesome.

[walt]

can we send you a tripod?

[LibertyEagle]

We need to take up a collection to buy the Justin TV dude a tripod.

[LibertyEagle]

Did you hear the idiot, "911 is an inside job"?

[DjLoTi]

We're watching history right here folks. This is huge. Things have changed. The momentum has changed. This is big, guys. This is real big.

[empirenine]

This is awesome. Soooo much momentum!

[torchbearer]

how is she holding the video camera and writing the website down with two hands?

[torchbearer]

ah. someone said its a head cam. never seen one. louisiana is kinda behind on tech.

[tiznow]

yeah the 9/11 was an inside job shouting at rallies needs to stop as much as i hate saying this as i'm saying basically don't use free speech but.....the bottom line is I don't care what you believe about 9/11 that's your choice. At the same time I feel no one should use the Ron Paul campaign to push some of your own personal beliefs (well unless those beliefs have been cleared supported by Ron Paul himself), the goal is to get him elected let him do the talking for himself. If you really want the truth aka more investigation into 9/11 we need to get him elected and shouting 9/11 was an inside job is only going to be detrimental to the campaign.

[Spirit of '76]

Chick needs to decide if she's there to film or there to rub elbows.

By the way, who does RP's security?

[quickmike]

Really appreciate this video and the Justin.tv thing, but damn, is the cameraman on cocaine or something? LOL

Im getting dizzy just looking at it.

[10thAmendmentMan]

Jesus! Look at that crowd!

Pay no attention to it. It's just two spammers with clever use of smoke and mirrors.

[empirenine]

HAHA! Some of them are robots too.

[quickmike]

actually its that guy that interviewed RP in the dorm room. Hes got little popsicle sticks, with peoples heads glued onto them. Genius!!!!!!

[PatriotOne]

Wow! Ron Paul is like a Rock star!

[quickmike]

that was more people than they had in Iowa looks like !!

[torchbearer]

lots of google people there... ron must have done a good job yesterday

[aravoth]

rofl, they're playing that Iron Eagle song.

[Wyurm]

lots of google people there... ron must have done a good job yesterday

Is it just me, or was that google guy hitting on the camera woman?

[wolv275]

rock on

[rockjoa]

We're not gonna take it!

Ron Paul supporters rock!

[torchbearer]

yeh, looks like ron has 0% support.

[torchbearer]

we should send this broadcast to gallup

[Johnnybags]

another probably 25 to 50k in the coffers. Think anyone is going to spontaneously show up at a Ghouliaini event in the hot sun with little notice? I doubt it! I heard last nights private room deal picked up more cash. Heck, Thompson the CFR insider sleaze bag is copying him now? The Bush pick to take over, yeah right.

[rockfree33]

can we send you a tripod?

The camera is on her hat, so the camera can't be stable. Unless you want to send her a neck brace or something lol

[richard1984]

This is really awesome!

Headcam.

Hat Cams are a bad idea.

[quickmike]

ah. someone said its a head cam. never seen one. louisiana is kinda behind on tech.

dont you guys still use the hand crank b&w film cameras down there? ;)

[torchbearer]

film?? what is that?

[rockjoa]

I like the hat cams, I watched on at the iphone launch. If they had high bandwidth and image stabilization they would be much better. Bypass MSM live tv!

I hope it brought in much more than that.

[rockjoa]

nice candle holder!

[quickmike]

hehe

[Spirit of '76]

Uh...

Where is she going now? :D

[richard1984]

So...what are they doing?

[torchbearer]

HOw is she getting the broadband to broadcast so far away from the event?

[MozoVote]

But.. but... California is a liberal state. There shouldn't BE any support for a conservative? "What's going on?" ;)

[rockfree33]

I heard her talking about it, she has a laptop in her backpack hooked up to Sprint's wireless broadband network.

[rockjoa]

I think she is using evdo broadband from her cellphone, it is currently down(maybe out of evdo range or batteries.)

[Lord Xar]

this gonna be up on YOUTUBE? Its not loading for me.. just spinning, and spinning and spinning...(loading)...

thanks..

CAN ANYONE ESTIMATE THE CROWD NUMBERS?

[rockfree33]

CAN ANYONE ESTIMATE THE CROWD NUMBERS?

I couldn't tell, the picture was too pixelated and narrow to get a good estimate. But if I had to guess, around 1,500 give or take a couple hundred.

[SeanEdwards]

No kidding. What's next? David Duke fans showing up at Ron Paul rallies, and taking the opportunity to yell "Lynch *insert racist slur that begins with N*!" while Ron Paul pauses between sentences?

If the truthers want to do Ron Paul some good, go shout that truther crap at Fred Thompson events.

[SeanEdwards]

I couldn't tell, the picture was too pixelated and narrow to get a good estimate. But if I had to guess, around 1,500 give or take a couple hundred.

I was at the event and I estimate the crowd to be 1500-2000 people.

[Lord Xar]

tell us about it? Was the energy high? You think he got alot of donations? Did he talk of illegal immigration at all (a strong point with me LOL)...

[FreedomLover]

If the truthers want to do Ron Paul some good, go shout that truther crap at Fred Thompson events.

That's actually a really cool idea. To see 9/11 truthers infiltrate rallies for hillary or obama or thompson shouting "9/11 was an inside job!"

It would be really funny to see that on tv, maybe some media folk would pick up on it. 9/11 people would get their playtime, and the toptier would scramble to deny conspiracy theorists supporting their positions. lol.

[SeanEdwards]

He didn't say a whole lot about immigration specifically. If you are a Ron Paul fan you've heard it all before, but it was great seeing him in person and the crowd energy was great. It seemed like a really good turn-out to me. I bet any of the other Republican candidates would kill to attract a crowd that big in the ultra-liberal SF Bay Area.

Ron got plenty of applause for all his positions. I bet a lot of people would be surprised that his strong 2nd amendment stance got a big cheer from the Bay Area crowd, but it sure did.

Very diverse crowd age wise, but it did seem predominately white to me. That tells me Ron should seriously think about a non-white male as a running mate. It could add a great synergy to the campaign, in my opinion. Hurray collectivism! ;)

Edit: One neat thing Ron mentioned was that he actually got more free publicity and mileage out of his donation money by NOT spending it, than McCain got by spending a whole lot more. That's like political aikido right there. Ron Paul just tossed McCain on his face.

[Razmear]

Feed is back on, at the diner.

[jonahtrainer]

But.. but... California is a liberal state. There shouldn't BE any support for a conservative? "What's going on?" ;)

There is A LOT of support for Ron Paul in California! Many 'liberals' love him when they understand his libertarian policy. Just mention 'He voted against the Patriot Act' and you will have their attention.

This is my YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGfXIKHowoU) from last night (Friday July 13th) wandering around in San Diego's Gaslamp.

Sorry I messed up (didn't get the whole interview) but I have found A LOT of Ron Paul support just walking around with a Ron Paul sign and my video camera. Plus, I give out business cards or let people watch Freedom is Popular on my iPhone to get more support.

If the media wants to blackout Ron Paul lets take his signs to the street. This is how the Founding Fathers did it!

I prepared (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liQB8J_Ywnk) for and found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhiToVtab2w) A LOT of support for Ron Paul at the iPhone launch at the AT&T store in downtown San Diego. We aren't just the Internet!

Hey empirenine, thanks for the stamp (everyone should get one!) (http://www.ronpaulstamps.com/) you dropped off last night. I am almost out of ink! Hope you enjoy the 5 signs and your sushi.

google wifi. whole town of mountain view has wifi. (doesn't reach inside my apartment)

[jpa]

just got back from the event.

I'd estimate 1000-1200 people were at the rally. The speakers before him were great, but he really rocked the house.

I heard 30 people were at the $1k a person party last night.
The $100 lunch I was out was sold out (100 people).
I worked the campaign swag tables, we way understaffed for the onslaught of people wanting to buy overpriced t-shirts & bumperstickers. I'd guess $10-15k made there (revenue, not profit)..
Lots of local media attention... Talked to people from the town papers and San Jose Merc..

All in all, a very good day for Ron Paul and the campaign. I was pleasantly surprised by the turnout, I really have hope he can win Santa Clara county (California is not a winner take all primary).

[Lord Xar]

Alot of media was there. Cool, now we can have more fuel to the fire when they do not show it on T.V. --

[DisabledVet]

Another Ron Paul supporter caught on film. Dont let this get out!!!

Holy crap. That is around 50,000 $ if I have my maths right.

[ronpaulitician]

Go justin.tv

The person doing the camera work was Justine Lam, I think. Not sure.

[Brian]

Well, I missed the rally at the time RP spoke due to another commitment, but you all realize it was Justine Lam with the camera, right?

And being a gentleman and a scholar, I will hold off saying "Damn girl, you're rockin."

Nice work Norcal, you have outdone the Vegas rally.

[ronpaulitician]

There appeared to be a couple of people converted to Ron Paul's cause in the chat room at justin.tv during the feed.

[TexMac]

LOL. She has it on her hat.

[Hamburglar]

Just got back. It was a very successful. My only complaint is that some truthers yelled 9-11 was an inside job during the speech. Show Dr. Paul some respect save it for another time..

[Man from La Mancha]

I was at the gathering also and it was very good. Justin was really hot in her denim short shorts. I didn't know what she was doing with that head cam but it would of been better for you guys watching if she would have just stayed still with a tripod, I'm impressed with her video streaming and I enjoyed watching her moving all over the place and squat down to get some of her shots, she was the second best person to watch. Ron was in good form. There was a professional video guy that is providing the whole talk on DVD for $15. He had a high quality 3 ccd sony camcorder with a direct mike tie in to the main mike. I failed to get the address for it, sorry. Very good talks also by the other speakers. Griffin had some good ideas to counter people saying Paul doesn't have a chance to win.

[MGS]

LOL. She has it on her hat.

Lew says the crowd was about 1k - still, pretty awesome. If he can consistently gather crowds of 500 - 1k every city he goes to, that's pretty impressive at this stage of the race. We're building momentum!
