Palin rallies nearly 20,000 mid-Missourians

JEFFERSON CITY -- With election polls opening in just a little over 12 hours, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin rallied supporters on the steps of the Capitol in Jefferson City Monday morning. Nearly 20,000 mid-Missourians waited in line for hours to hear Palin. KRCG's Mallory McGowin was there and has the details of the event.

"Tomorrow, election day, is just hours away," said Palin. "The time for choosing is near. Missouri are you ready to help us carry your state to victory?"

Palin rallied the Republican troops Monday in the Capitol city. And they came out in their Republican red by the thousands. It was a last minute opportunity to address voters in Missouri, nationally recognized as a vital swing state in Tuesday's race.

"Barack Obama is for bigger government and for higher taxes," said Palin. "I'm so thankful in this 11th hour of the campaign, a long campaign, and at least now, even though it is the 11th hour, the sun is shining on his plans for where he wants to take America. The sun is shining, sheding light on his intentions here. His whole tax plan is so phony that is already starting to unravel."

While national polls still say Missouri is too close to call on the day before the election, the nearly 20,000 people that gathered on the south lawn of the Capitol feel that Missouri will stay red.

"I really wouldn't like to see higher taxes either," says Jefferson City resident Jeremy Perkins. "I feel most people in this country feel the same way as I do. We're gonna go show it tomorrow."

"I'm all for her," says Jefferson City resident Elizabeth Questar. "She's for the people and that's what we need."

It was also a last minute campaign opportunity for several other Missouri Republican candidates.

"You get a lot of these great bumper stickers and whatever. Here's one that I'm not sure that you've seen," said Republican candidate for Governor Kenny Hulshof. "It says: I'll keep my God, my freedom, my guns and my money. You can keep the change."

Palin's message was not only to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket, but just to get out and vote; a pitch for support from still undecided voters.

"We're gonna do just fine," sang Hank Williams Jr., who performed at Monday's event. "We're headed for good times...an old McCain-Palin tradition."

I could not sit back and do nothing, so I spent part of the week-end calling voters in several states and urging them to vote for John McCain. If you want, you can do the same thing by going to the following link:

http://www.johnmccain.com/PhoneBank/OutsideWindow.aspx

They have the name, telephone number, and city and state of the voters, plus a script you can follow, but I most often just tell them to remember to vote and vote for McCain-Palin. You can pick any state to call and I picked Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvannia, but you can pick others as well. Some people just hang up, but quite a few are willing to listen, including some undecideds. I'll do some more calling tonight.

For being a “drag” on the ticket, she really “drags” them out to rallies. Compare and contrast with Joe Biden.

Thank God for Sarah, really. Whatever happens we have her. Just think of it. The media, who I want to see destroyed, pillories Sarah like some kind of evil demon. Uh, excuse me msm, contrast her personality with Barack the lying, arrogant, smug egomaniac.

Thank God for Sarah.

Exactly.

Somehow it will poll to Obama 51% and McCain 43% and the rest undecided.

You know that there was +7 Democrats at the rally don't you?

Sorry I’m posting too much, but the media has me burning up. What kind of G.D. country do we live in when our “journalists” obviously hate one candidate? You can see the contempt on the faces of most of the talking heads on TV. We’re gonna need a revolution guys, a bloody revolution, and we may as well beat them to it before their “civillian” force gets armed. Sorry to vent, it’s just so Orwellian with the MSM right now.
