Mr. Mitchell, I give you credit for keeping an open mind and showing up to see for yourself. But if you're going to grade harshly on experience (or lack thereof), then you absolutely cannot vote for B. Hussein Obama, a man who's done nothing.
Great news! Thanks for posting!
screen capture from CNN outside the arena.What I like is that they said she’d speak at 12:30 (local time)—and she did. Very respectful of all those people crowding together and waiting to support them.
Uh...how 'bout mayor and governor of Alaska? That work for ya, George? Sheesh...
I saw this on Fox News, but the article doesn’t mention anything about the American flags that were handed out to the crowd? Apparently, after the crowds at the DNC dumped their American flags in the trash at Invesco Field, they were “rescued” and handed out at this McCain rally.
Sarah has been compared to Teddy Roosevelt, the Kennedy brothers, Ronald Reagan and Harry Truman.
:).. she is something special.
However, Sarah could truly “Give them Hell” if she was in a position of authority.
That said, I've donated to his campaign in the past week and am thankful for Sarah being on the ticket, if only that she becomes the likely person to clean up the mess he will likely leave.
I have nothing against messianic self deluded community organizers... don’t get me wrong,” I said invoking Obama’s oft-quoted self characterization. “But c’mon, you’ve got to have a little more experience than that.”
I heard some of Sarah. Frankly, she needs some fresh material. The last couple speeches have been almost identical to the one from the RNC. Too many people have already heard that.
I think of Obama’s very recent complaint about 19 months of campaigning, flying (to other countries besides), hotel food etc. and his Greek Temple Nomination set. It made me think of the Fable of the Tortise and the Hare.
Bump for later.
McCain's new cast of thousands, all unknown Boston Globe - Posted by Sasha Issenberg September 6, 2008 02:51 PM
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Since setting out from St. Paul Thursday night with his new running mate Sarah Palin, John McCain is for the first time being regularly welcomed by Obama-style crowds.
A midday rally Saturday at an airport hangar here seems to have pulled McCain's third straight showing of over 10,000 attendees; until recently, it was remarkable for McCain to speak to one-tenth of that. Although they long ago booked such large venues, McCain aides claim that they are surprised by the turnout. Staff had projected only 1,000 to show up yesterday for a morning rally in a Milwaukee suburb, they said, while an estimated 12,000 ended up flooding Cedarbury's small-town streets.
But unlike Barack Obama's campaign, McCain's doesn't know who any of them are. From the outset of his candidacy, Obama has required attendees to pre-register for tickets to his events, an innovation in data collection that has given the campaign reams of new information on potential supporters that can be used for later contact and persuasion.
McCain has no immediate plans to require the growing throngs at his events to register, according to adviser Charlie Black, who cited the demands such a program would place on campaign labor and technology.

McCain-Palin had 10,000 in Colorado Springs.
Obama had 800 wherever he was.
Bhwhahahahahahahaha
*We will be uploading the entire rally, that KKTV.com carried live Saturday, to our Web site. Because of the length of the video it may take time to upload to our site. Thank you for your patience."
(Geez, FReepers. From your lips...!)
This should leave a mark.
