COLORADO SPRINGS — Gov. Sarah Palin made a final pitch to voters here today , warning them a Democrat-dominated Washington would mean higher taxes, the "gutting" of the defense budget and continued dependence on foreign oil.
Calling Colorado's nine electoral votes pivotal, she also asked the crowd of about 4,000 gathered in an airplane hanger to elect her and Sen. John McCain.
"We want to work for you, so will you hire us?" Palin asked the screaming crowd, which responded with applause, followed by chants of "USA."
It was a scene reminiscent of Palin's stop here the Saturday after the Republican National Convention, when the newly nominated vice presidential candidate and McCain appeared in a different airplane hangar before a crowd of more than 10,000.
Today's crowd, though smaller, was fired up, booing Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, throughout Palin's speech.

she needed to say, “I will walk around in the VP’s office in a skimpy thong and have my mac cam on at all times if you vote for us!”
Sarah: “We want to work for you, so will you hire us?”
Obama: “Work for ME!!!!”
What happened to the ideal of public servants. I am so glad that John and Sarah get it.
I know you are joking but...she is well above that kind of thing. Just pray for her and McCain
GO Sarah!!!!!!!!!
With Sarah it's about us.
Compared to Obama who says he expects YOU to work for him.
