Interesting stop.
I’ll bet the huge number of anti-illegal immigration, anti-amnesty citizens will be thrilled with his visit. s/off
A bunch of us from PG County Maryland were planning on working the streets in the same neighborhood from about 10:00 to 3:00 Saturday. I’ll have to followup and see if there has been a change.
Latest message says we will be offered rally tix.

I’ll be driving home from Orlndo that day but I hope everyone who can go, goes! I went Monday to the VA Beach rally and it was awesome. I’m still thrilled that I went!
I was at her Richmond rally. Bocephus rode up with her in the bus and sang the national anthem and then a special McCain/Palin song. :-)
After Hank sang he introduced Todd and Sarah Palin but Todd and Sarah and John and Cindy all came out. Anyway...while McCain and Palin were speacking everyone was lined up behind the speaker...spouses and running mate and Hank. The spouses and running mates were all standing almost at attention but Hank was whooping it up. Nodding his head and waving his hat and cheering right along with the crowd!! It was great.
It was great! I was there, too.
I couldn’t even see Hank, Sarah or Todd at the Richmond rally. We got there at noon, two hours prior, and couldn’t get within sight of the stage. Fortunately the speakers were working well.
I wondered about that. There were more people there than they prepared for. Hopefully, the venues will be more accomodating from now on!
I don't know what went on there. They moved locations after they got about 24,000 ticket requests. But those bleachers and that area didn't look to me (from my far away vantage point) like it could accommodate 24K people. So I think they just expected an overflow crowd to listen.

Dear Friends:
DRUDGE: AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%...
This shows that in the next 2 1/2 weeks we can win this election and bring a true American Hero and solid American Leader and a true Reform-minded Governor
to the White House for the next four years!
Join us tomorrow if you can at this hugely important rally for John McCain. Wear red if you can. Tomorrow is supposed to be a bright, sunny crisp fall day — just right for a huge rally. Let’s show the media that we have not given up on Northern Virginia. We can carry Virginia.
There will be yard signs at the rally for you to take home.
Max on WMAL with Austin Hill suggesting supporters bring plungers to this rally tomorrow!
Heard his call again tonight.... loved it! Here’s the thread that Austin and Max were talking about —

I thought about attending this rally! I’ve been to the Palin one but haven’t been to one with McCain yet.
