Palin's O.C.(CA) fundraiser attracts more than 1,000 (and $2 MIL )
orange county register ^ | October 4, 2008 | Martin Wisckol

If you don't believe Sarah Palin's Carson rally was originally slated for Orange County, I can show you the press badges they gave us: "McCain-Palin, Orange County, CA," with a drawing of surfboards stuck in the sand.

She finally did make it here by Saturday evening, for her big fundraiser at Segerstrom Hall in Costa Mesa. Newport Beach's Dale Dykema, one of the VIPs in attendance, said he'd heard 1,200 attended and that $2 million was raised. I've heard enough inflated accounts of fundraisers to want to see the federal campaign filings, but it was clear that this was a landmark event for pure fundraisers in Orange County.

Very nice, Gov. Palin! I’m hoping to post and get the heck out before the arrival of the handwringing drama queens who are so much smarter than the McCain camp.

“I was in Newport 3 weeks ago,plenty of McCain signs”

Not only Newport but the entire county!

I predict McCain/Palin will carry O.C. big time!

Donate and volunteer for McCain-PALIN 2008.

I hope we are able to raise more money because Obama is getting lots of offshore credit card money in $25 denominations.

WHY was Palin in the “People’s Republic of Kalifornia” (obviously unwinnable), when the campaign pulled out of Michigan (MUCH more winnable)?!!!

Fundraising. There’s lots of money here in CA. LOTS.
And there are MORE Republicans in this state than in most other states. It’s just that we get overwhelmed by a few very dense liberal counties. Plus, excitement for the Republican ticket will help Congressional races.

And also will help Prop 8.
