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?
Tonight was actually a planned dinner for C4P supporters, however, only about half of the people there were actualy C4P. Initially, the room (in the back) was setup to allow only C4P people in it, but as soon as she got there, the lobby filled with people from the rest of the restaurant, and all of them made their way into the room. It had the feeling that the private gathering had doubled instantly.
I understand your sceptisism, however, as a long time FReeper, a Texan who has voted for Rick Perry all 3 times he has been elected Governor, and a delegate (well, alternate) to the Texas State Convention twice, I have never seen a reaction like what I witnessed tonight for a politician.
There is something different about this woman... You just need to experience it yourself to understand.
