(CNN) – Hockey Moms might be the hot political demographic of the moment, but NASACAR Dads haven't been forgotten.
The McCain campaign is moving Sarah Palin's Monday appearance from the Arthur Ashe Center in downtown Richmond, Virginia — capacity 6,000 — to a much larger outdoor venue: the Richmond International Raceway, which hosts two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races yearly and can accommodate over 100,000 people.
The campaign doesn't expect to fill all those seats, but McCain's mid-Atlantic regional director Trey Walker said the demand for Palin tickets has nearly quadrupled the capacity of the original event site, the Arthur Ashe Center in downtown Richmond.

We are SO going to win this. People just love her and they will be out in FORCE to vote for her.
John who? LOL! :)
Note: Michelle Obama was here in The People’s Republik of Madistan (WI), a hotbed of Socialism and she drew a few hundred. Obama isn’t drawing big crowds either; he never really was, we were just TOLD he was. ;)

Did anybody read the replies in the CNN article? Democrats actually think Gov. Palin is going to speak at a NASCAR event. They are going to boycott that NASCAR race for letting Sarah Palin speak.
We are doomed if this is the state of education in the US today.
