Palin's visit sparked a colorful protest at the busy intersection of Federal Highway and Camino Real. Though the protest was led by supporters of Obama, it was nearly overtaken by dozens of McCain-Palin supporters.
A last minute guest at the fundraiser was 11-year-old Rachel Petersen of Deerfield Beach, who was allowed to stay up past her bedtime last month to watch the Republican National Convention. She said she wrote Palin that she was happy she was running and sorry she couldn't vote for a few more years.
On Monday afternoon, Rachel's dad, Don, was shopping when his cell phone rang. It was Palin, he said, and she wanted to thank Rachel personally for the letter. When Don explained how close they live to Boca Raton, she invited them to the fundraiser.
Rachel showed up in a pretty dress with a big smile. She was nervous to meet Palin and said she shook her hand and said, "I want to say good luck."

What a contrast between our gal and "The One" who tells little children that American isn't what it used to be.
What a great story.
Great story! An impression like that will last a lifetime for this little girl and her family. :-)
Check out the gold spray painted combat boots. It looks like they're auditioning for Ronald Mc D replacements. LOL...
Or children are a punishment.
I bet the first thing she and her mother decided was she needed a new dress. :)
My friends went there last night....can’t wait to hear how it was!!
Cheers!
