Here's a picture that should put the lamestream media's lies to rest:

Thanks for the first hand report.

Sour grapes...sour grapes...sour grapes.

[Per-Ling]

I clearly count 8. :)

[Right Wing Assault]

Could be. One seems to be a photographer, and I think the AP just assumed he was one of theirs rather than a fan. So they didn’t count him, probably.

I may not agree with everything he says, but he has my eternal gratitude for choosing Governor Palin.

and America first

I watched a live video feed of the Colorado Springs event. McCain and Palin looked genuinely astonished at the size of the turnout and commented upon it.

Sarah Palin said "Wow" 3 or 4 times.

[quiet_reverie]

Thank you for the photos. I so wanted to go...me and my pregnant teenage daughter! Unfortunately they had no more tickets; we were disappointed but it is comforting to see the turnout...that is astounding!

[Mediocrates]

and America first

I agree.

Friday at Cedarburg, WI there was a large crowd (20,000+) but AP reported 1,000

I was there - 1000! That’s nuts! We had to walk 1/2 a mile to get to the end of the line going to security. We didn’t even get close to getting in to a venue planned for 8000. There were probably 3-400 just on the corner that we got barricaded into where the campaign bus was egressing.

Do you have a link to that 1000 number?

[Salvation]

I had seen 10,000

And Obama had 800 wherever he was. LOL!

[Salvation]

This is proof positive that we all better get down to our state McCain offices and get on the list so that we know when the tickets are available.

I was at a Laura Bush event in 2004 and I thought the crowd was huge. Standing room only. Nothing like this though.

She’s supposed to appear in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area on Sept 18th. No details yet as to where. I’m going to try to make it.

[hsmomx3]

Wow—that is a huge crowd!!

I would love to get one of those Sarah posters. That happens to be my daughter’s name as well.

[piasa]

Where's Waldo?

[staytrue]

GOD chose Governor Palin for the VP slot. McCain was just the vessel that He used.

Does that make McCain a christian pope ?

[politicket]

Does that make McCain a christian pope ?

Nope. God uses all of us sinners to His good purpose.

Have a look at the comments section below the article at the link, the left are losing it, they feel the loss coming!

Man, they are really freaking out over there!
