McCain supporters turnout to greet bus and cardboard cutouts of McCain and Palin

Urgent determination worked its way through the crowd Monday outside the McCain-Palin Straight Talk Express at the Strait Steel parking lot near Greencastle.

Franklin County GOP Chairman Jim Taylor asked for volunteers to make telephone calls during the final two weeks of the campaign.

"Help with the campaign? Oh, yes," said Peggy Reid, Chambersburg.

Reid was among the 50 or so people who arrived at 10 a.m. She picked up a McCain-Palin T-shirt and yard signs at the GOP campaign recreational vehicle used by presidential candidate John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin when they visit Pennsylvania.

"I'm all excited about the RV bus, " Reid said. "I support Republicans. We've got to get things going."

A steady crowd came and went during the RV's two-hour stay. T-shirts were sold out within 20 minutes. People posed with cardboard cutouts of McCain and Palin for photographs.
