Note that Obama came to Londonderry, NH this morning and drew 4,100, about a third of Palin's statewide tally in three rallies.

More importantly: If Obama is really 10 points up in NH, like the polls say, why is he coming to NH at all?

I think it could get really ugly for Obama, now.

He has absolutely NOTHING in common with the average American.

Folks can relate to John and Sarah for a variety of reasons.

However, Obama's friends are black racists, anarchists, terrorists, communists, abortionists, taxmen, criminals and other horrible people.

Who wants to think of such monsters controlling our taxpayer dollars?

“Like the Red Sox, Palin predicted, the Republicans are the “underdogs” that will come from behind and win on Nov. 4.”

Uh-oh, the Red Sox are trailing 7-0 in the 7th.

I think in retrospect, Obama was never really leading at all for the past month. The MSM tried to make it look like he had momentum. One would think if he was as wildly popular as depicted, he would have pulled away in the polls by now. All the pundits that say this is over are wrong.

How can anyone really honestly believe that this campaign is behind?

80 million Americans tuned in to watch this women debate Joe Biden.

She has transformed American politics more than Hillary Clinton because she is an authentic American— not the pretentious Beltway insider so charming to the Kristols, Krauthammers, and Noonans.

She is the clearest indication of the potential demise of a ruling elite that presently straddles the political continuum. This is their world and its happy manipulations will not be easily upset by this upstart reformer.

But the victimized public knows its champion despite the long odds.

Go get em Sarah!

By all accounts, it was easily the largest gathering for an appearance by a political candidate -- presidential, vice presidential or otherwise -- from either party in Salem's, if not southern New Hampshire's, history.

I am going to remind myself of this before I fall asleep tonight, and sleep the sleep of the blessed and carefree. Obama has lost this election. Sarah is going to drag her grandpa across the finish line, with Joe the Plumber helping, and save us from this despicable communist termite. Let's get out there and kick his teeth in!

“Obama supporters are like Yankee fans,” Schilling told the crowd, enticing loud whoops and cheers. “They’re not bad people; they’re just backing the wrong team.”

yeah...whatever.

Good question. And why Biden, as well? You know, I lived there for a few years. It’s a quirky state, but those are hard-nosed people up there. And if you combine the Palin crowds with the thought that McCain won two come-from-behind primary races there (against Bush and then Romney), and it is difficult to believe he will not win the state.

MSM version of the ‘inflammatory’ populism of Palin:

Don’t take the beauty of your state for granted.

Cherish all human life.

Love our country.

Exactly right - Obamunism and friends want to ROB us blind and DESTROY this nation and they will succeed unless God intervenes and stops the massive voter fraud theft of this election!

God bless and keep Gov Palin and Senator McCain!

Two days after her Democratic counterpart drew a comparatively intimate crowd of 600 people to a small basketball gym in Manchester, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin filled the Salem High School football field to capacity last night with adoring supporters chanting her name.

During Harry Truman's 1948 "Give 'Em Hell" tour, the crowds started out small but grew exponentially. Tom Dewey happily sat on his lead in the polls, talking platitudes, running out the clock.

When Truman hit a whistle stop in Ohio, Alice Roosevelt Longworth, TR's daughter, drove out to see him speak and was alarmed. Alice could name most GOP county chairmen off the top of her head and had a better political brain than most men in the party. Alice called RNC headquarters and said, "Get Dewey a message, or we're going to lose this thing!" She was ignored.

The rest is history. And the growing size of the crowds testified to that.

It’s all about turnout! And the fact is that McCain and Palin (especially Sarah) have been turning out crowds and Obama simply hasn’t! During the primaries, Obama was sending thrills up Chrissy Matthews legs, but somehow Sarah’s numbers are ignored by the media in terms of their significance.

If McCain/Palin bring out the vote as they are in the football stadiums, Obama will lose!

Lowell’s a heck of town. I worked there for a while back in ‘76/’77.
A town of energy and renewal - peace be with you.

Sarah Palin is a natural communicator. You can tell she really enjoys campaigning. People connect with her because she is one of us. I can't wait to vote for her on Nov. 4

I voted yesterday in CO for McCain Palin. I feel good about my vote. If the election is over, why can't Obama get those crowds out there? Or he thinks the best strategery right now is to just play it safe and run out the clock? That may be to his advantage. The less he's seen and heard, the better off he'll be.

“It’s all about turnout!”

Yes, there seems to be more passion on the Republican side. I don't think the passion is there for the dimocRATS except for the extremist.

As a NH resident, I can tell you right now Obama is NOT up by 10. He might not be up at all. I live in Rochester, about 10 miles from where Palin held her first rally Wednesday.

Biden was here on Monday--a holiday--and could barely draw 500 people to the American Legion Hall. Two days later, Palin goes into a very liberal Dover and draws 10 times that.

Don't spit on my back and tell me it's raining, MSM.
