I Saw Sarah Palin Today in Kissimmee (LOTS of Pictures)
Vanity | 10/26/2008 | RightFighter

Posted on 10/26/2008 6:49:50 PM PDT by RightFighter

I just want to share my memories of the Sarah Palin rally today in Kissimmee, Florida. My mom and dad and I left Daytona Beach today around 9AM and made our way to the event, where we were joined by my friend Olga. The weather was beautiful outside while we waited to get int, and we could not have enjoyed ourselves more. It was the most worthwhile experience possible.

Here are my pictures:

The Ticket:

The Venue - the Silver Spurs Rodeo Arena in Kissimmee, FL:

Always good to see the old girl flying high:

And also good to see the young girls raised right:

Just one of many "Joes" that were there:

RightFighterDad and RightFighterMom before the event:

Perhaps not your "typical" McCain/Palin supporter. You'll see her again:

This one's a cutie:

More Joes:

This woman was cheered loudly wherever she went in the arena. Read her sign:

I told you you'd see this girl again. She sat on the platform behind the candidate:

One of Sarah Palin's biggest fans. This girl caught Sarah's eye, and Sarah not only blew her a kiss from the podium. She also stopped and talked to this girl and her family for probably five minutes once the event had ended:

I wasn't sure if this baby was special needs or not, but when Sarah was working the crowd after she spoke, she reached over and took this baby and held him for a minute. It was very sweet:

The firefighter honor guard. Check out the cool axes:

Some of the crowd:

RightFighterDad and RightFighterMom during the event:

My friend Olga - a Russian immigrant and huge McCain/Palin supporter:

Notice how loosely his jacket fits. I told Olga that I was sure he had an automatic weapon under the jacket:

Senator Mel Martinez:

Florida Governor Charlie Crist:

Sean Hannity was well received:

Sarah enters the venue:

She was given a warm reception, to say the least:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is beautiful, and she did a great job introducing Sarah:

Pretty in Pink - Sarah wowed the crowd:

More Sarah:

More Elisabeth:

The future second (and one day first) couple:

One more of Elisabeth:

Sarah thanks Elisabeth for the introduction:

Sarah on the stump:

More of Elisabeth as she watched Sarah:

I think the other side of this sign said "Fred the Filmmaker". Sarah read it to the crowd, and then when she saw this "Union Member" text, she told the guy he should watch out, he might be about to get the same treatment Joe the Plumber did. She apologized to him for making him famous:

She read this sign to us too:

This man loves his wife and it shows in the way he looks at her:

Sarah leaves the stage to work the crowd:

Autographs - Todd Palin (left) and Sarah Palin (right):

Sarah and Todd right after RightFighter's placard was autographed:

What a beautiful couple:

The world's most gorgeous (and promising) politician:

At this point, Olga yelled out "I love Todd", which was funny because RightFighter's name is Todd. I yelled "Todd - you rock!", and he turned and looked at me and said "YOU rock, man."

Sean Hannity interviews Elisabeth Hasselbeck:

Sean Hannity works the crowd:

Barack Obama attended the event. Who knew?

Just before Sarah left the venue:

RightFighter and Olga after the event. Notice the shirts - they are my design which I sell in my store at www.isupportsarah.com:

I saw no protesters at this event - only Democrats for McCain:

"Notice how loosely his jacket fits. I told Olga that I was sure he had an automatic weapon under the jacket.."

IIRC, they carry an Uzi submachine gun on a spring holster.

Very well attended. The arena holds 10,500 in the seats. There were probably a total of maybe 1,500 seats or so empty in the two “end zones”, but there were 3,000 people or so down on the floor where I was.

Nice to see firefighters come out for Sarah (color guard) since the IAFF endorsed Barry! They might find dead fish in their bunker boots!

Awesome picts!

We were going to make the trip from Miami, but decided not too...wish we could have gone, but ended up posting about 75 signs after the Dolphin game.

Make a simple sign on your computer...”Socialism isn’t change” and print it. Make copies and paste them to lampposts at busy intersections.

Thousands will see it everyday.

I was hoping it was the “endzone” thing.

Once again. GREAT JOB!
