Well Sara Palin appeared at The Villages, about 8 miles from me. It was 90 degrees and quite humid. The tri county area surrounding The Villages has about 500,000 people, and about 20,000 people got tickets and were let inside the security fence. About 40,000 more were outside the fence, watching jumbo TV sets. I didn’t go because it was too hot and too crowded. Not bad for a VP candidate not in a major metropolitan are.
That’s an amazing turnout! I’d read that it was a lot of elderly folks, too. I’m hoping that some who might have voted Democrat in the past, might like what they hear from McCain-Palin and vote Repub. this time. Florida will be a BIG state to win!
