Campaign staff and volunteers of Sen. John McCain and his former vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin are preparing for the pair’s appearance at Mesa’s Dobson High School on Saturday.
A spokesman for the camp offered a bit of advice for those wanting to get in: “Folks should get there early,” said Brian Rogers, McCain’s communications director.The event is free, on a first-come, first-served basis and does not require a ticket.

Also speaking at a rally in Tucson on Friday, the appearances are McCain and Palin’s first ones together at a public event since their concession speech in the 2008 presidential race.
Their appearance comes just four days after President Barack Obama signed a $938 billion health care reform bill. McCain has been an outspoken critic of the bill and plans to lead an effort to repeal it.
Palin, the former governor of Alaska, is stumping for McCain. She will speak about McCain’s values and what she learned from him during their 2008 presidential campaign and through his battles against his own party line, Rogers said.
McCain will speak about what he appreciates in Palin’s leadership, and speak out against what he believes are misguided priorities in the White House including government overspending, his concerns for the 17 percent unemployment rate in Arizona and the state’s home foreclosure problem as 48 percent of homeowners in Arizona are under water, according to Rogers.

“private contractors are capitalism not government.”
You really don’t understand any of this stuff.
Your employment growth metric you keep trying to use is NOT what people are referring to when they refer to “government growth” - and contracting is a great way to reduce “head count”.
“OK. In eight years, GWB had fewer vetos than did Jimmy Carter in his four years. Bet you didn’t know that did you?”
By a factor of two, no less.
I’m sure the Democrats are rejoicing every time they see ANY faction that reeks of CONSERVATIVE attack one another.
RAYTHEON ,GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATION , Haliburton
NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION , and other government contractors are private companies. that is not government.
The difference between socialism/government growth and capialism is private ownership/private property.
“ANY faction that reeks of CONSERVATIVE attack one another.”
McCain’s faction of the GOP certainly does reek, but that’s not conservatism you smell.
Jim’s post reminds me of Ronald Reagan admonishing Republicans who speak ill of another Republican.
” that is not government.”
An onsite support contractor is a government employee in all but name. Same job.
You are outside your field of experience.
Oh, and number of employees is STILL not what people mean when they talk about “growing government”.
Guess my comment flew over your head. Obama thanks you for your attack on a RINO... one less he has to pay for.
“Obama thanks you for your attack on a RINO... one less he has to pay for.”
Why would Obama attack his useful idiot? Your comment didn’t go over anyone’s head.
Hmmmmm...useful idiot.... seems there are many here on this thread.
I see the school boy pushing his Neo Leftist Ron Paul is in his Peter Pan mode.
The school boy doesn’t like Conservative Republicans such as Sarah Palin but supports his Neo Leftist, 9/11 Truther
Ron Paul and his loons, Alex Jones and Lew Rockwell
not to mention Jack Hunter the bitter little queen.
I remember every Presidential election night going back to President Kenndy.
Oh want a night when Reagan was elected, how proud it was to be American. Then Reagan was re-elected by such a great landslide.
I was just as happy when we thought “W” won” in 2000. Fox called it around 1:30 pm I think. I hated Al Gore. I remember doing a jig with my mother (in her seventies), which she hadn’t done ever before. We then started to freak out when they pulled the call back. Well the dems didn’t get to steal it. Then 2004 was such a great night beating the corpseman John Kerry and Bush was the first President in over 100 years not to lose any seat in the house and senate!
But on November 6th, 2012, when I hear “Ladies and Gentleman, President Elect Sarah Palin” !!!!!! WOW. Oh what A Night!! It will be the Happiest I have ever been on a election night!
My, you are crude, aren't you..
> She will use the power of her following to be a king-maker and influence the party platform.
She’s making the wrong king, here.
Bad bad move, Sarah. It makes me really question your judgement.
May I remind you that Bush teamed up with Senator Chappaquiddick for the bloated “No Child Left Behind”, and he teamed up with the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS (!!!) to commit the expansion of Medicare in the prescription drug bill — a bill that DENNY HASTERT (R) introduced!
We had 6 years... SIX YEARS... of FULL Republican President/Congress control under Bush. SIX YEARS. And the government ballooned like never before!
So PLEASE don’t try to tell me that the problem is on the Democrats alone.
RINOs are a threat to America and to our party.
If you don’t think so you are merely kidding yourself.
Pay attention to history.
“I see the school boy pushing his Neo Leftist Ron Paul is in his Peter Pan mode.”
LOL, when is he not in that mode? The guy is a joke.
Keyword: 1 percenter; high school; loud but irrelavent
“Huge crowds expected for McCain-Palin event”
Now I want to hear from all the FReepers who said she won’t affect the outcome of the primary.
“Guess I’m holding out hope now that Michelle Bachmann won’t sell us out too.”
Not likely. Bachmann and DeMint have had their boot on Obama’s big toe since he took office.
LMBO!!
