Two thousand brave cold, snow for Palin book signing in Fairfax
The Washington Post ^ | 12-05-09 | James Hohmann

Sarah Palin brought a taste of the Alaska winter with her to a Saturday book signing at the BJ's Wholesale Club in Fairfax. After alternating between drizzle and rain for much of the night Friday, snow flurries began in earnest about 8:30 a.m.

"I wanted to feel like I was at home" Palin said, as she walked into the store while the first snowfall of the season soaked a crowd of about 2,000 people who came to meet her.

I wonder if Romney could get these kinds of turnouts? There is this thing called INTENSITY of support in politics, and that’s what scares the heck out of the Democrats.

It also doesn’t hurt that she knows their game, unlike 90% of elected Republicans.

The local news B*&ch reported 450 with a tight camera shot on the crowd. She then reported that Sarah was just visiting Sarah friendly cites. THEY LIE!

Maybe not Romney

But certainly Huckabee could.

If he chose the right venue.

Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola has a population of over 5000 and I bet they'd all turn out to greet him.

The article states that the weather put a damper on planned protests. Protesting what, exactly? These people are truly sick. Zero is destroying America, global warming has been exposed as the fraud that we always thought it was unemployment is (truly) over 10% and someone has found some reason to protest against Sarah Palin. Sick.

It was slick and dangerous around here, and the first snowfall of the year, if mixed with ice, sleet and all that stuff, used to be exciting and then I grew up.

Let others break in their driving skills first.

BTW, sending in my annual dues to the Tesoro Iron Dog team today as we speak.

If you call them up the lady who answers the phone sounds just like Sarah!

What a crock! Fairfax is wall to wall liberals and illegal aliens! To have a turnout that big in Fairfax should make the liberals mess up their diapers.
