Crowds - Ditch McCain-Once Sarah Quits Talking
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 02:25 PM by kpete
Many came to see Palin.

"Here's to Sarah Palin and the old guy," said Gerald Hunsburger of Holland, who decided to forgo his usual sunny day hobby of boating on Lake Michigan. "She's energizing."

...............

Palin mentioned the flood about 12 minutes into her speech, saying she and McCain would visit some of the damaged neighborhoods. "Congress has not done enough to help this region recover. In a McCain/Palin administration, we will not forget," Palin promised.

McCain starts speaking 18 minutes into the rally. He begins by reminiscing about the State Fair. "I'm very grateful to be here. We intend to campaign hard across the state of Iowa again...I think we're going to be up late on Election Night, my friends, and we're going to need your help."

I look up, about five minutes into McCain's address and see a steady stream of people walking out of the rally. They just came to see Palin apparently.

At 11:38 a.m. a group of peace protetors starts, well, protesting. They are esscorted out and the crowd boos them. "All we are saying is give peace a chance," one of them sings as he's escorted out by the local press tent.

4. Er, what does she want Congress to do, exactly?
Governors and the Prez declare disaster areas. State and federal emergency management agencies, plus HUD and others, are supposed to handle such emergencies. Is Congress supposed to shovel money at the situation? How un-republican of her.

2. Sarah Palin is the best thing the McCain campaign has going for it.

And that is an encouraging thought.
