the base seems to be energized. That’s big. Really big. When the base votes, the GOP wins. Period.

I’m pretty disappointed that, living in a red state as I do, it’s not likely we’ll see Sarah campaigning here in Alabama.

Why does it seem all their venues only fit 5 - 6,000 people? They always sell out. Why not book a venue that fits at least 10,000?

stabler arena is a small venue and not very many seats to begin with. They should have had an outdoor rally. I am bummed the tickets are gone. I would love to go...

Same here but for the exact opposite reason.

I live in Maryland and sadly it is solid blue.

If it wasn't for just THREE counties in this state it would be solid RED. You just gotta love those urban areas.

I would LOVE to see PA go Republican this year, but I just don’t see it. McCain is down 12 points there. Unless something major changes, PA is lost. Refocus funds to VA and OH and NC and FL.

Two counties and Baltimore City. ;)
The three override the rest of the state.

Ours was slated to be outside today, but it is poring rain. It has been moved inside and emails are saying even if you have tickets...you may not get in.

PS> No umbrellas per Secret Service.

I sent an RSVP in on the McCain/Palin site for her Saturday stop in Johnstown. Do I still need to get a ticket to get in?

They were energised in 2004 as well. Records were supposed to be set by Democrats turning out new voters which they did btw. Bush turned out a few million more and in the end the "youth" vote percentage was just about where it always was.

Obama isn't even close to wrapping this up.

that was before poll tightening. PA is definitely in play.

They need to get Sarah to Indiana soon. Barry is here today for a rally down in ACORNville. A part of town I would stay out of sporting a McCain/Palin sign.

They can’t afford to lose this state.

I am also from the southeast, and would love to see Sarah.

However, I am willing to accept the fact that she has some serious work to do if she is going to win Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and other critical states for America.

WAR EAGLE!

What polls shows him down 12 points? Just don’t throw out a number like that w/o providing a source. Oh, btw, no way Obama is winning PA by double digits. He’ll be lucky to win there at all, but if he does, it will be within a couple of points.
