I went to the McCain Rally in La Crosse, Wisc. It was a lot of fun. Local candidates were there, as well as Tommy Thompson. There were about 5,000 people in the La Crosse Center, which is about what it holds for these type of rallies. Lots of enthusiasm from the crowd and McCain was fired up, as well. Enjoy the pictures, you can see more of them here.

Thanks for the photos!
Hey, Girlfriend!
You’re welcome! I had a blast. Got up at 0345, carpooled with a friend and got to La Crosse by 6 or so. There were about 40 people in line by then.
Was this before or after the Minnesota rally that’s been all over the news? What was McCain’s approach on Obama?
This was before the Minnesota rally. The crowd did not chant “terrorist” or anything similar if IRC. They just booed every time Obama’s name was mentioned or alluded to. Folks in Wisconsin are a little bit “different.” Of course, there were three or so hecklers that tried to disrupt Sen. McCain’s speech but the crowd drowned them out.
Nice job. :-)
Thanks.
thanks for sharing...:)
But why is there only white people behing McCain? He’s a bigot! (sarc)
LOL!
You have great photos! Mine didn’t turn out so great. We were on the left side of McCain’s podium. My 11 year old daughter got to shake McCain’s hand. A nice and good humored secret service agent was nice posed in a picture with my daughter!
Those protesters outside drove me bonkers. It was nice to see some college kids confronting them.
I saw a clip on the news tonight of a campaign speech and I am not sure it was here but someone made a remark about how angry the people are about the country being taken over by socialists etc and directing you two,meaning Palin and McC to do something about it...
Anyway somewhere in his reply,,McC ever the gentleman went out of his way to say Obama is a decent man and if he should be president we don’t have anything to be afraid of that it was that he, McC has different opinions than Obama...
What a way to tank your own campaign.
Read the Washington post report. It’s pretty much sums it all up! They are starting to hit on all cylinders. Finally.

His people know. He knows. He’s going to have no problem with the crowds expressing it for him. We are PO’d.
Keep up the good work!
Those remarks were probably made at the Minnesota rally that afternoon. We didn’t have any issues, except from the hecklers.
Here's a nice picture of McCain with a little kid. There were a lot of young people at the rally, from elementary school-age to college. It was great to see.
I’m so glad you got to go! Good job! :)
The Waukesha rally was a total blow-out. I posted an article about it. I’ll ping ya to it. Lots of good Sarah-shots there.
