Just returned from the McCain/Palin rally in O'Fallon Mo a suburb of St louis. Key points: Crowd twice as large as expected. Very excited even though it was very hot and humid. Very mixed crowd, snap shot of middle America. Many young people there(don't bet on Obama locking up the youth vote). Sarah Palin got the biggest reception(crowd was really excited about her especially the women). People were still hanging around after the rally was over. Palin is not only exciting the base, she is bringing the people out. Very good rally.
THANKS for the report! Any sign of PUMA’s? Democrat/Independent crossover voters?
people just needed someone to vote for. Not Obama
Thanks for the report. I’m sure the MSM will show it completely otherwise.
thanks for posting great news!!!!!!
Thanks for the report.
It was on C-SPAN live! Governor Palin was great!! I could tell the crowd loved her!
FOX News reported a crowd of 17,000+ showed up (O’Fallon originally expected a crowd of about 12,000 per KSDK St. Louis)
The people really loved Palin. Kept shouting Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!
Got any pictures?
The striking thing was the number of younger people that were there, it was if they knew they were witnessing history. You could really see the pride in their faces, even the very young girls.
This yet something else she brings...she exudes youth and vigor by the gallon.
I have some, haven’t even had time to look at them. The crowd was so large it took for ever to get out of the parking lot. I think McCain has picked a real winner with Palin.
I saw it live on CSPAN. That was a really good rally there.
Huck was there. Mitt was super pumped up. John did excellent. Sarah was great - and I noticed she re-tuned her stump speech. I found it more effective than the PA rally.
I loved it!
She really does come across as a very sincere person. Her real strength will be when people really learn of her and her story. She has such a great smile. McCain was very happy to take a step back and let Sarah shine. You could see the satisfaction, and I will even use the word pride, on McCain’s face during the entire time she was speaking. He just couldn’t stop smiling!
You experts out there ... lets get the pics and video links up uuuuuuUUUUUUHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRAAAAAHHHH
Romney really did surprise me by how well he can speak to a crowd, and of course Huck was Huck, funny as ever.
Nina Easton on Fox just said she heard from some party types who didn’t like Palin. Ugh.
I would’ve said more about Huck but I missed most of his pitch.
