Sarah is middle America, fly-over America, the backbone of this country. She’s every family. No elitism. No phony baloney. Alaska, thank you.

I was at a party in Illinois yesterday and asked a group of friends what they thought of Governor Palin and McCain ticket now. I had expected to have about half like and half dislike or question the selection. It was overwhelmingly pro McCain and Palin. Only two (out of about ten) were negative.

I think the horrific attacks from the Obama campaign and his news media will backfire on them. People have hope that we have a true reformer in Palin who will turn Washington on it’s collective butt!

I cannot *wait* until our local headquarters gets the new yard signs and bumperstickers in.

In fact, in a couple of hours I’m going to call them and whiiiiiiiiiiine for a bunch of them....LOL

[and them I’m going to prepare to have my Yukon vandalized and myself verbally assaulted on a regular basis...such is the “peaceful, tolerant liberal” way]

While it is great to hear the energy from SUPPORTERS, the thing that please me most is the energy from the leftists.
Let no one doubt that 2 weeks ago the left KNEW, they had the election won and it was all over but the crying for America.
Today, just the opposite. The left is in total meltdown /panic mode. They can not even mention Palin’s name without the hatred and fear dripping from their lips.
And everytime one of these hated filled media lapdogs speaks a vicious attack on her, her chilrdren, her baby etc. they lose a few more of the middle of the roaders, a few more women that would have otherwise voted for Obama.

I too attended the state fair this weekend and spoke to a women at the booth about this. I also noticed many fair goers were carrying McCain yard signs and did not see one Obama sign anywhere. In years past all you would see is people carrying Gore or Kerry yard signs.

That’s great! The experience I’ve been having in Maryland has been less than enthusiastic so I’m glad somewhere in the state people are excited about the ticket.

Pretty cool. The McCain ticket spits the MD Dem base of blacks and Dem women(and effeminate men).

The State Fair is held in Baltimore County, which is Republican. The author also indicates a lot of interest in Andy Harris’ run for Congress, but his district is predominantly Republican, namely the Eastern Shore and part of Baltimore County.

Having lived in Maryland most of my life, I’m happy to see any support for McCain, but given the nature of elections past, he has little to no chance of carrying the state. Baltimore City, and the counties of Prince Georges and Montgomery comprise around 40% of the total state population, but they have been the difference in keeping Maryland the Peoples Republic that it is.

In short, I suspect the interest noted by the author, while encouraging, should be kept in context due to the locale of the venue.

I was at a Mexican restaurant yesterday, 3 tables talking excitedly about Palin one lone lady scowling at us.

One thing I have found interesting this year in the South is the lack of bumper stickers (and I have driven through 5 Southern states this summer). There are more leftover W and Bush stickers than either McCain or Obama stickers.

I bet Palin changes that!
