Just look at those crowds! These poles weve been hearing about do not reflect what we are seeing.
CNN and MSM reports...”A small crowd was on hand to greet her...” Sarc/off
It was great fun for all of us. The crowd around us in line and at our seats were very cool multigenerational "backbone of America" folks. Lots of laughs and some serious talk mixed in. The warm ups were energetic local pols, with former Treasury Sec. Rosario Marin and Actor Jon Voight, the big name lead ups.
In a surprising move, the California head of NOW introduced Sarah. She announced that she was a life long Dem, which drew boos from the crowd lol. She then gave a gracious and supportive introduction to Gov Palin.
Sarah charged the stage with a huge smile and rocked the crowd with plenty of red meat and humor. During her speech there were about five or six Obamabots escorted out by Sheriffs as the crowd chanted USA. Sarah riffed on one, saying something like "we fight for their freedoms as well" Crowd loved it!
The clouds threatened rain, and a few sprinkles fell while Sarah was talking, but heavier patch of sprinkles waited until after she finished her speech. Overall it was a great environment for the event. The wife had some positive comments about the general vibe of being in the midst of huge numbers of Republicans lol. Perhaps she was expecting similar behavior to a Dem event, with the pot smoking and free love heh. She appreciated the family crowd, and said it felt like a neighborhood church barbecue, which sounds fine to me.
I'm very happy I took them to see Sarah, our future President, god willing!
I do have a couple pictures if anyone wants to see, just holler and I'll post links.
