Thanks Jeff for sending the link to this video. Click on this link, then click on "play video." There is a part in the middle that shows the ferry ride back - full of exuberant Ron Paul supporters.
Then the reporter lets us in on the secret: Giuliani is also on the boat, barricaded inside the tiny captain's cabin, "surrounded by security!!!" Ha ha ha! At the end of the ride, it shows the G-man stealing away as soon as the boat docks - if not running for his life, at least running for his dignity! Must see.
I was also on that boat ride
It was great! Not only did I get to ride with Dr. Paul on the ferry over to the Island, I also had the privilege to be on the one with the mayor on the way back! In fact, I was sitting right the other side of the isle of the camera man in that video. It was a LOT of fun and I will be voting for Dr. Paul now!

funny
I am glad I am not Rude E. Guliani.
none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.
GO RON PAUL!

Pay your supporters more, Mitt
LOL Romney's chants were so pathetic. 9&10 news is Heritage Broadcasting/Associated Press; don't know the relevance of that, just thought I'd share. Notice however the Newt plug.
i agree wisen
thought the same thing when i saw that . i saw no sincerity in thier chants at all. i bet all those people were either related to him or close friends of his and he paid for thier trip to the island. like you said, pathetic!
Video won't play for me.
When I click the play video link, I get the message invalid url. I have tried to do this in three different web browsers.
"Invalid" URL
Are you running a Windows PC? I'm on a Mac, and got essentially the same message: the link was handed off to QuickTime, which said "The URL is invalid." So I figured it was yet another fascist Windoze-only function, and looked around for a way to get at it. After a few tries, I was able to get past the JavaScript wrapper and get the actual URL (it showed in the "status bar" at the bottom of the Safari window, and I manually copied it):
http://www.9and10news.com/player/playlist.asp?id=122442&flig...
This I then pasted into VLC Media Player's "Open Network..." dialog, and it fetched the movie and showed it. Open Source saves the day again.
Thanks
I use a Mac. Thanks for the link to the VLC media player. I just downloaded it and I was able to watch the video.
WiMP on Macs
Yeah, VLC's great. The VLC browser plugin for Mac, not so much.
If you want to view Windows Media in page "normally", update your browser plugin to one of the MS-recommended options:

I use the first (Flip4Mac) generally...though I also keep the abandoned WiMP 9 on my hard drive.
Romney is pathetic!
Looks like Iowa all over again. Those people chanting "We want, we want Romney" must have been paid. Their lack of enthusiasm was painful to watch.
The next time Romney pulls one of these, I wish someone would interview a few of these people to see how they were recruited and how much they are getting paid.
the first news clip
there is also another video clip of the day before i believe and its real funny how they dont mention ron paul at all, but the next day he owned that island! that was awesome! he showed them reporters you can run, but you cant hide from ron paul. the reporter near the end made it look like the ron paul supporters were hurling insults at rudy on the boat so thats why he went and hid in the captians quarters with all his security, but all they were yelling was, "Ron Paul! Ron Paul! " Rudy is such a coward, i bet he did that on purpose to make ron paul supporters look violent and threatning. great exposure for ron paul though and it should get him some curious undecided voters to look him up.
If I was Giuliani and I had
If I was Giuliani and I had 100 Ron Paul supporters around me chanting I'd be scared too...
Deja vu'.....all over again?
Jeez Rudy, get off the stage.

mackinac island
very nice indeed !
Ron Paul's success is about speaking the truth not 'talking points'
Looks like Romney supporters too young to vote
I looked at that video and I would say those are mostly high school students.
They were young
We talked with some of them and they were college kids that for the most part, did not know anything about Mitt. They just got a free trip to the island in return for voting for Mitt in the poll. On the other hand, Ron Paul supporters from from all parts of the country, Did not organize to be there for the most part. and I believe, didn't expect to see so many. People of many types and places.
