JEFFERSON CITY - With only hours left before Missouri voters head to the polls for Election Day, GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin pumped up the Republican faithful with a rally at the Missouri Capitol.

Thousands of people gathered on and around the south lawn of the Capitol building to hear the Alaska governor speak. Flanked by a huge American flag behind a statue of Thomas Jefferson, Palin gave the crowd a boost before tomorrow’s election.

"The time for choosing is near," Palin said. "And, now more than ever, we need somebody tough as president."

Dubbing presidential contender John McCain "pro-growth and pro-private sector," Palin said the Republican ticket will keep taxes low and confront a growing national debt.

That, she said, was in contrast to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who she said was for "higher taxes and bigger government."

I am surprised the SS allowed her to walk unescorted down the steps. Only takes one loon.

True, but I think she’s surrounded by thousands of honorary Secret Service deputies :) I expect justice would be swiftly dealt by the crowd.

The Gov’s got her Blue Jeans on! She is so truly one of us!

I’m sure there was somebody perched up high with a sniper rifle ready to take them out.

I was there up behind and to the right of where Sara stood.I don’t know.It took hours for them to get into the fenced off area, and there where alot of people outside the east side of the fence.

Ok. I admit it. I have a girl crush on her. Here is someone who is truly like me- smart, confident, and a true patriotic American woman- on a national ticket. And she’s wearing jeans! Go Sarah!

[pissant]

Hey, if that whole VP thing doesn’t work out, we can get you two to do a girl crush film together. ;o)
