COLORADO SPRINGS — In just the second day of campaigning together, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, gave a command performance of their convention week speeches to a crowd of more than 10,000 here.

McCain and Palin hit popular notes from their big-stage speeches by promising to rein in government spending, lead America to energy independence and win the war in Iraq.

"There's no place more appropriate than here in Colorado Springs, with all the great service of people from here, to tell you this: We are winning in Iraq," McCain said, drawing some of the biggest cheers of his 15-minute speech.

On Fox News they showed the crowd getting ready with the discarded US flags the rats dumped at Investo field

I like Cindy also, she as a very impressive record. Plus she has had a son in Iraq.

I noted at the FReeper Rally in Crawford Tx against Sheehan that the rats dumped trash everywhere ( and they LOVE the planet)

When the FReepers finished...thousands of us.. There wasnt a gum wrapper to be found.

FReeper FFforfreedom actually needed to give himself a saline IV(it was 104 that day) To patrol the grounds and make sure any speck of complacency was gone.

God Bless America

Of the two Denver papers the News is the “conservative” one.

I was surprised to see such a positive report of the rally in the Denver Post. That is encouraging.

I want to see McCain win, but in his speech he looked and sounded as if he had two marbles in his mouth. He needs some speech coaching.
