In a sweep through the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, Mr McCain was met by the kind of near-hysterical crowds previously seen only at campaign events for his Democratic rival, Barack Obama.
More than 6,000 exultant supporters turned out on Friday night in Sterling Heights, a town in Michigan's Macomb County, home of the Reagan-Democrats, the small town blue collar voters who propelled Ronald Reagan to the White House in the 1980s and hold the key to victory this year.
Where he once played to a few hundred people, Mr McCain was greeted by an electrified crowd chanting "Sa-rah, Sa-rah!", "John Mc-Cain, John Mc-Cain!" and "U-S-A!"
Mrs Palin immediately spelt out how the McCain campaign will take on Obama Barack in the final 60 days before November's election, targeting patriotic voters unconvinced by the Democratic candidate's national security and economic credentials.
"We went right from the convention to small town USA," she said. "It's true that they grow good people, people who are working hard for America.
You love your country in good times and bad and you're always proud to be Americans."

I wish she would come to Tampa.
Which means we’ll have another election map like we had in 2000. 3,000 Republican counties and 600 Democrat counties - and a nearly even 50-50 vote.
Palin is Sailin’ into everybody’s hearts...
:)
I wish she would come to Los Angeles. ;-)
“Palin is Sailin’ into everybody’s hearts...”
Except Oprah’s. Heh!
I cant wait to wear this T-Shirt at the State Fair next weeekend.

Obamadon is dispatching women to “save” those 600 counties, once again skipping over the ones he double talks about
Women have a real woman to represent them and they are loving it. This is looking better every day.

Good bumper sticker Nana:
I’m sailin’ with Palin
on the good ship McCain.
I ordered that SARAH-CUDA bumper sticker. Can’t wait until it arrives.
Hopefully the RINOs that run the GOP will get the message even if McCain loses in November.
At least you've got a shot. As for me, up here in the People's Socialist Republic of Vermont, I've got about as much of a chance of seeing Sarah Barracuda as I would a nice sunny, 80 degree day, up here in January.
I think McCain/Palin have probably written off New England, with the exception of maybe, N.H.
A most excellent campaign strategy, so long as the story gets out to other “small towns” across the nation. Even though this has the marks of an urban nation, so much more of it is suburban and still with roots back to something of the Main Street of song and story. Even municipalities of 100,000 like to think of themselves as “small towns”, if only in their dreams.
And Sarah Palin helps them recapture that dream.
HERO vs ZERO
If I were HRC I’d tell him to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WASHINGTON POLITICS AS USUAL FOR THE DEMOCRATS.....NO CHANGE HERE!
