I can tell you this, having personally been there tonight, and having been to numerous rallies (Both Freeper Crawdord rallies and the porkulous protest in DC to name a few) I have never seen a ruckus like I witnessed this evening. The air was electric. Just plain and simple. It felt like the world was alive again. I am too young to remember what events with Regan would have been like, but tonight is how I’ve always imagined them, and she Sid nothing but walk in, take pictures, shake hands, and walk out.

Our table was unfortunately one of the last to be waited on, and the manager came over to apologize. He said they have had 6 of these “events” and NONE of them have had this kind of response or crowd.

This nonsense that she has no staying power and is unelectable is complete political posturing.

She has it like no other out there. She’s a total darkhorse riding in the sunlight, and if she announces, the nomination is her’s as is the presidency...

See the post immediately after yours.

First-hand report.

Much appreciate your report directly from this event with Palin. I am not at all surprised the "air was electic"..... When Bush came to Troy Ohio I went downtown the night before as things we getting set up for his coming. You could feel the "electricity" in the air as people went about the jobs deligated to them. It was breathtaking to experience this with the people and especially as the momentum built when it all began coming together.

So I understand what that "electicity" is about. The next day the crowd that showed to see Bush was 20,000 in this small community....and of course Bush stole the show from the get go.

100 bucks says you’re wrong.

So, since you were at this “rally”, was it pre-planned or just another photo op?

The AP sure seems to be pushing Palin tonight and her “grass roots” surprise rally.

Why is that, do you think?
