Well...I played hookie this morning and went to the Sarah Palin Rally this morning at the Westernaires Arena in Golden, Colorado. It was originally to be a pancake breakfast meeting, but due to the overwhelming demand the campaign ran out of tickets in the span of eight hours so the pancakes were tossed out. I had called ahead and I had tickets available at the "will call" booth at the arena. I left the house in Thornton at 5 AM and parked at the Colorado Mills Mall parking lot at 5:30. I then walked about a mile to the Arena. I have been to a few air shows and I figured, better to spend 20 minutes walking than an hour and a half idling in a car trying to get out of the venue. I went to the "will call" area and received my tickets. I was in the top 10% of the line and as the sun came up I started in through security and made my way to the front and found a nice nesting spot where I could see Governor Palin. Sarah's appearance was delayed as President Bush made an address to the nation and we had to wait for him to finish.
One thing that I noticed, was that during the warm up, they asked how many Democrats were here. The response was very loud.
Sarah came out and gave her speech. When she was finished, she came down to work the patriots. I was one of the first that she met and I asked her to sign my boonie hat. I gave her my marker and she signed my hat and asked if she could use the marker to sign someones ticket. I told her that she could keep the marker.
All in all, everyone had a great time and I think Obama is in trouble.
Obama was in Grand Junction this morning. Grand Junction!!! hahaha, a few lefties at the college is all he’ll find. And a good solid group of feisty rednecks. My nephew went out with friends, scarves around their heads and “Terrorists for Obama” signs. hahaha.
that’s funny.
That is funny!
I spoke with a lady next to me in line who was interviewed by KOA and told her that I think that Obama can not say "Good Evening" without a telepropter and that McCain will eat his lunch on the first debate.
I think you meant to ask this of the man who was at the rally, Mr. BulletBobCo.
on the one YouTube segment i saw--it was during an RNC function during the one of the mornings--he was endearing but seemed very shy... but it was really cute...

that only applies to those with wide girths...
Thanks for the ping ,Gondring!
There’s something about Todd’s smile that reminds me of Tony Romo...and in TX, that isn’t bad:)

The dread horizontal stripes make anyone look wider; it is a visual effect that has nothing to do with weight. That said, you’re right, wide girths really need to “steer clear.” Just ask my friend Sige Cenando!
Great report!
Nice job...Bob. Couldn’t make it, glad you could.
Good job Bob!
It would be nice if we could do a side by side crowd comparison with biden.
Biden is reported to have an empty press section on his plane.
That is the “action report” we need to bypass the media blockade.

I heard that Biden has sand bags placed on board to compensate the weight and balance for the aircraft.
