I was at the McCain/Palin rally today!!

The crowd was HUGE!! I think I heard that it totaled over 20,000.

I have posted some pics and tell me what YOU think!

If you asked me, I think it was closer to about 40,000!

It was a hot sunny day (perfect for a rally) and Sarah had a nice suprise for us! Hank Williams Jr. came to sing the national anthem!

What an awsome day!!!!

So here are some of the pics.....

I do believe the polls.

[GOP_Lady]

Thanks so much for sharing. :-)

[CatOwner]

Thanks for the report. I sure wish the photos were larger.

[jrooney]

Awesome. I heard it totalled 40,000.

[GnL]

Nice pics...I think. Excuse me while I go look for my magnifying glass. Sounds like fun. Can you get some bigger pics up?

[bayliving]

Awww man! I thought the pictures would be bigger!

HELP!!! How do I make them bigger?

[shiva]

Bigger! Bigger!

[pissant]

Thanks for the report. Hopefully some enterprising freeper will rescale your photos.

[scooby321]

I don't believe the POLLS

[hercuroc]

do tou have an account on photobucket?you can upload them there and then copy to FR

[ought-six]

Sorry, but my eyes can’t focus on something the size of a postage stamp at three feet.

[ExpatGator]

You have got to be a woman, as fast as you change your mind!

[spodefly]

Your picture are teensy!!! If I were a gnome, I would use them as postage stamps! :)

(I seldom get to use the word “teensy”, and I never pass up the opportunity to mention gnomes, so I couldn't resist. In fact, I am not even sure "teensy" is a word, but it should be.)

Do you have other pictures or a Video please?

Here's a new chant for McCain-Palin rallies:

Name names, Senator McCain!
 

[parksstp]

Hannity finally called out Rasmussen for the internals and oversampling of Democrats. Scott just said “hey the reality is this race is stable and Obama’s in the lead rather than answer it”

I’m sick of this. I remember 1996 and I know there’s no way Dole was going to win. But this year feel very different. I was feeling awful last week, but I feel much better this week and I get the sense we are in the lead. I can’t find this 52% of voters supporting Obama. I just can’t.

LOVE IT!

'I don't believe the POLLS'

You mean those skewed, agenda-driven Polls that more often than not consists of oversampled Democrats and Independents (who are according to Rush, "Democrats In Waiting")?

Surely you can't mean those Polls?

[Aliska]

Thanks for sharing about the rally. I wish I the photos were larger. Can you resize them from the originals, not these, to about 800X600 px, 72 dpi and repost them?

[The Doctor]

I was there, also. Arrived late, but caught most of her speech. There was such as huge crowd, the parking lots were jammed long after the event ended. Looked to me like all but three lots of the raceway were full. NBC12 estimated the crowd at 20,000 - 25,000, but it looked as though we had that many cars.

Two things other than the obvious were noteworthy: 1) the media would have you believe that you are the only lonely supporter of McCain and Palin. Just attending an event such as this shows HOW MANY AVID SUPPORTERS we have for this ticket. 2) Palin is even better in person than on television. Audiences respond to her. They are craving a leader who cares about their issues and isn't just pandering with the latest promises to voters.

[piytar]

MSM to cover this in 5,000,000, 4,999,999, 4,999,998...

[MovementConservative]

Glad to see it. It has been really dispiriting seeing McCain and the GOP take the huge hit from the collapse of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/Lehman Brothers.

As one who spends many hours at the GOP phone bank here in Oregon, it is getting harder to drag myself in for what may be a lost cause. The combination of the media, George Bush, and voter fraud may totally sink the GOP(and any hope for conservatism) this year. Let's hope it doesn't take another 40 years to reclaim the US House.

I was there. Great rally. Sarah was wonderful. The crowd was great and well-behaved.

Post the BIGGER like this:

"Aitch"

[bayliving]

Wait! I think I got it!

How's this?

[The Doctor]

I tried enlarging them but the resolution is just too low. They blur. Was this from a Flip camera?

[bayliving]

I fixed it! Look up! :^)

[mlizzy]

hhmmm ...

[rabidralph]

You can’t get them bigger if your original size is the 96x72 pixels.

[Miss Didi]

Fabulous...thanks for sharing! Who is the guy in shades next to First Dude?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Hey Kath!
Can you help here with pics?
Thanks!

[Tucker39]

Hey bay......
The photos are a joke, right?
Or are secretly an Abomaniac?

[mbarker12474]

You call THOSE pictures?

======== Gov. Palin in Richmond Virginia October 13, 2008 ==

[AmericanInTokyo]

HUGH! Vey Series! (from Obamba perspective)

[mbarker12474]

The fella next to Todd Palin is the winner of several Iditerod dogsled races. Forget his name. Also don’t know how to spell Iditerod.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Hey! Whassup wit the Obama “Communist Red”!!??

[Prole]

Our stocks are rallying.

I can only hope that our market continues to prosper.

This will truly help him in the long run.

[Mr. Silverback]

You believe polls that are oversampling one party by 10%? That have McCain trailing among men by 14 points? that have him winning Republicans and independents and still down by ten?

Can Obama win? Damn straight. Are these polls crap? Absolutely.

[Diogenesis]

Those are GREAT pictures, bayliving.

Thank you for them.

I only meant to joke like Crocodile Dundee from his famous line.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

That was awesome!
Thanks very much!

[Mr. Silverback]

This should give you a further lift...see this post of mine and the posts by LS and Azzurri that precede it.

WHAT the heck does he mean by “STABLE”? That didn’t make sense!

" Nice pics...I think. Excuse me while I go look for my magnifying glass. Sounds like fun. Can you get some bigger pics up? "
Maybe they are showing us how the MSM will report the crowd size... the MSM will report that the crowd was smaller than it was actually was.

[bayliving]

I just wanna know how you got those pics!!!

VERY NICE!!

[Miss Didi]

Oh, thanks...it’s cute how Todd, Sarah and the sledder all wore crisp white shirts. ;)

Good... Virgina goes all RED !!
