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!
Those kind of stories likely were written by folks who didn't see the rally, since The Villages ('America's Friendliest Hometown') is a retirement community. There were loads of folks of all ages there, from as far away as Gainesville in the north to Tampa in the southwest and Orlando in the southeast. Some came all the way up from Miami (5 hours). The Palins spent the early part of the day at Disneyworld.
