California Republican Party ^ | 2/25/12 | Newt Gingrich

[BCrago66]

Livestream to the California GOP Convention. Newt is scheduled to speak right now; as I right this, stream is running, and people are milling about before the speech.

(Some twit seems to be harassing the camera operator with dumb questions.)

[Irenic]

Thanks!

[jessduntno]

Noisy crowd!

[Bobbisox]

Nothing...can anyone help?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks BCrago66.

Are you getting the video at least? With my system, I’ve been getting both audio & video, but the audio cuts out periodically (and it’s out now.)

Whoops - audio is back up.

[billys kid]

Do you know how to ping Newt supporters?

TY for the thread.

[NordP]

Has he spoken yet?
I see these people mulling around, too.
I had to be patient. It took quite a bit to load.

[Bobbisox]

I am there...nothing, no audio, no video!

[A. Morgan]

Bump

[NordP]

Testing mikes now....

[BCrago66]

No right now the only speaking is a mike check. You haven’t missed anything.

[jennychase]

They are testing audio

[BCrago66]

Maybe try another browser, if you have another. I’m getting the stream using Firefox.

[NoGrayZone]

I just have a black screen and no audio!

[GVnana]

AWESOME!!!!

[Cato in PA]

YEAH! MIC CHECK 1-2!

:P

I hope Newt gets to speak soon.

[NordP]

The mike cuts in and out every so often...for about ten seconds and I hope they fix that before the speech.

[GVnana]

KA PING!

[NoGrayZone]

I get nothing w/ Firefox or IE.

[BCrago66]

“They” is not a professional operation. It’s a dood with a smartphone and a Ustream account. But I expect later tonight a better view of the speech will turn up on thrightscoop.com and other sites.

[A. Morgan]

This is going to be GREAT!

[Cato in PA]

Try Chrome (or better yet, SRWare Iron, its privacy-oriented derivative).

[clashfan]

Thank you! It’s working on Google Chrome. They’re still doing microphone checks.

[NordP]

Dood has pretty good resolution then! Thanks for the clarification. Thank goodness for the dood too ;-)

[BCrago66]

If you have a few minutes, maybe update your adobe flash software? I’m no expert, just guessing. I have a weak system - watching from a netbook - and I’m getting it just fine.

[annieokie]

We’re tricking in, little by little.

[annieokie]

OH my goodness. I mean we are “trickling” in. lol

[Qwackertoo]

announcing . . . I guess Michael Reagan . . .Herman Cain . . .oops cut out back . . . some locals I guess never heard of them

[presently no screen name]

Seems Micheal Reagan is there.

[billys kid]

LOL!

[Josh Painter]

Michael Reagan will introduce Newt.

[presently no screen name]

Saying a prayer now.

[clashfan]

Quoting Obama: “Oil prices are above my pay grade” LOL

[GVnana]

I like the “one clap” thing. That’s a good idea. People get tired of the repeated applause in these long introductions.

[presently no screen name]

Perfect plan!

[CedarDave]

“Not yet.” Word from the side of the stage to the moderator — Newt must be running late.

As an aside, I note that FR’s time clock has been reset and now matches the rest of the net.

[txrangerette]

Bump!

[Bobbisox]

Finally got...Firefox...updated. Thanks

[GVnana]

“Coming next live: Newt Gingrich!”

[GVnana]

“Coming next live: Newt Gingrich!”

[txrangerette]

No thanks required...I wasn’t the one.

[GVnana]

Newtsters arriving!

[annieokie]

Oh stop that, rofl. My face is red.

[Bobbisox]

BUMP FOR MR. NEWT!

[presently no screen name]

From Mr. Speaker to Mr. President.

Go Newt! Go USA!

[NoGrayZone]

Ohhhh, Flash player is google and I removed and prevented all things google.

[GVnana]

Herman Cain and Michael Reagan!!!

[sheikdetailfeather]

Herman Cain is there. Go Newt!!!!!

Newt up next

can’t believe such amateurish coverage/videography. Good gravy - same thing for his speech in Washington this morning which rocked the house - FanTAStic speech - brought the house down - and you couldn’t even see his face!

Come on, republicans! You KNOW the media is ignoring Newt like he didn’t exist - the word is out. His gas ‘exposure’ is hurting bambi bad - and will shoot Newt to the top IF people could hear/see him in these speeches.

but if you can’t get even ONE LOCAL media camera there - can’t you find at least one relatively good photographer there? I would be nice to at least see his face!

Newt need a pro-photog to travel with him!

Sorry about the rant but this is INFURIATING!
