(FREDERICKSBURG, VA.) - In warm, sunny Florida yesterday, Sarah Palin held two indoor rallies. Now that she’s stumping across cold, rainy Virginia, the Alaska governor has the misfortune of having scheduled three outdoor events across the state.
In Fredericksburg, what started as a cool drizzle when Palin took the stage, turned into a steady, uncomfortable rain by the time she was halfway through her remarks. But the Republican VP nominee was unfazed.
“By the way, I love this weather because it reminds me of home,” she said.
As the rain came down harder, some in the crowd ducked under trees and others covered their heads using campaign signs, but Palin didn’t even request an umbrella as she stood on stage, calmly reading through her prepared remarks.
Palin continued to warn of the potential hazards of a complete Democratic takeover of the federal government.
“Friends, if big government spenders control the House and the Senate, and heaven forbid the White House, they will have that monopoly of power in Washington, D.C.,” she said.
“The Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda would put America on the path—it would be a path that erodes the work ethic, that strong work ethic that made this country so great.”

I’d like to see a video of this, but I don’t know if I can take Sarah Palin standing in the rain, all wet and stuff.
Todd Palin, forgive me for my thoughts.
Sarah is doing all she can to drag Yosemite Sam across the finish line. GO SARAH!
I saw her today in Leesburg. It was terrific!!!
I was about 15 feet from the podium where she was speaking and got to shake her hand as she was leaving. An all around amazing experience. The energy was phenomenal.
I have some great pictures that I can post later this evening if anyone is interested.
I have made a promise that one day I am going to meet her and her family. Even if I have to go to Alaska to do it.
She is everything that I seen in her the first moment I seen and heard her speak.
She is America at its best!!!!!
Oh pictures of Sarah, share them please.
Oh, I have plenty. I will not be able to upload them until later this afternoon though.
I will say that I thought that she was beautiful when I saw her on TV, but TV does not do her justice at all. She is simply stunning in person!
i will see her and John tomorrow.
And do remember if it were not for McCain we would never have had the joy of knowing all about Sarah Palin.
Hmmmm. A “Visualize Sarah Palin giving a great speech in the rain” BUMP!
oh please post the pix!
I second that motion ;)
was she wearing a white t-shirt?
I will probably be posting them when I get home, which should be within the next couple of hours.
great, i will look for them! my husband saw them when they were here in fairfax a month or two back!
Biden compared The Marxist to Thomas J, Mr. Jefferson, as all our Founders, would scoff at this outlandish notion. Obama meanwhile is heard in 2001 radio interview comdemning our Constitution.
Our Founders would dismiss Obama as reckless, unintelligent and power-hungry. They would have loved Sarah Palin and all this grand lady stands for.
So, when Alec Baldwin said the same thing he really meant it. It wasn’t part of the script.
This woman exudes class. She will be president if my vote counts.
