Sarah Palin appearing at Bass Pro Shops parking lot today in Springfield, MO

SPRINGFIELD | Dozens of people bundled up to wait almost nine hours to get a good spot to see GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin at a campaign rally in Springfield.

The Alaska governor is scheduled to begin her speech at noon Friday at a rally in the parking lot of Bass Pro Outdoor World. Some spectators braved a stiff wind and chilly air to arrive by 3:30 a.m., long before gates opened at 9 a.m.

The event was initially scheduled for an arena at Missouri State University. But after all 4,000 tickets were snapped up within 90 minutes Wednesday, the Republican Party moved the event to Bass Pro's massive parking area to accommodate a larger crowd.

Speeches in advance of Palin's address were set to begin at 11 a.m.

Palin speaks at the Bass Pro Shop.

"Nuff said".

:rofl:

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama of hiding his true intentions when it comes to tax policy.

Palin said Friday that Obama supports "redistributing your hard-earned money." Palin focused part of her speech on contrasting Obama's economic and tax policies with those of Republican candidate John McCain.

Obama has characterized McCain's tax approach as "putting corporations ahead of workers."

Palin's venue could hardly have been friendlier. She spoke outside a massive outdoors store before a crowd of thousands in the heart of Missouri's Republican base. The Alaska governor even got familiar weather, with temperatures in the 40s and onlookers donning coats, winter gloves and blankets on a blustery day.
